About the Coffee

The Kayon Mountain farm, located in Ethiopia’s Oromia Region, Guji Zone, Shakiso woreda, Taro kebele, was established in 2012 by a family with a generation of coffee expertise. Spanning 150 hectares of fertile volcanic soil, the farm grows coffee intercropped with false banana trees, employing 30 permanent workers and up to 450 during the October–January harvest. It produces 3,500 coffee trees per hectare and focuses on sustainability, composting coffee pulp and minimizing waste.

The farm’s Taro washing station, a key processing site, allows local farmers to sell coffee at better prices, reducing travel burdens and creating jobs. It features a dry mill producing 15 bags of parchment coffee hourly, with hand-sorted cherries processed naturally (sun-dried) on raised beds for 15–18 days. This natural process, when executed well, enhances the coffee’s terroir with sweet, fruity flavors, though it risks mold or over-fermentation if not carefully managed.

Kayon Mountain emphasizes social responsibility, building a high school in Taro, distributing coffee seedlings, supporting farmers financially, and aiding a nearby orphanage school, fostering community development alongside premium coffee production.
