Our forth year with Ismael & Kayon Mountain and we could not be more excited! 

To us this coffee heralds the beginning of Summer - creamy strawberry jam, juicy blueberry, sweet lemon and a cheeky little spiced chocolate finish. This coffee has been a customer favourite and easily one of our most requested coffees.

Ismael knows he is onto a good thing and pays his 25 full time and 300 seasonal workers well above average to encourage the same workers return year after year. Kayon also provides free transportation, and financial support for education and community services.

Fun facts:

If you snagged one of our Juice Box! packs, the Manciti coffee came from Kayon Mountain!

Ethiopia is the only coffee producing nation whose coffee consumption equals exports.
