A natural processed coffee from the Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia.
Traveling south from Addis, you soon enter the Great Rift Valley, an area believed to be the origin of humankind. It is a place steeped in natural history and mystique. Soon, you climb from the Valley floor to discover a lush green oasis. The towns of Awasa and Dila greet you, reminding you that you are indeed in coffee country.
ROASTERS NOTES:
This coffee is a Grade 1 natural process produced on a privately held farm called Kayon Mountain, owned by Ato Esmael and his family. The farm is environmentally and socially driven and is in fact certified organic. Kayon Mountain is roughly 240 hectares and produces natural “sun-dried” coffees in addition to fully-washed coffees. Once ripe coffee cherries are harvested, they are dried on raised beds for 12-20 days. Throughout the harvest and drying processes, the coffees are meticulously sorted in order to receive the “Grade 1” designation.
