Sun treatment of Kayon Farm in Shakesoka Yong Mountain Manor, Ethiopia

Introduction of Kayong Mountain Manor in Ethiopia

Kayon Mountain Farm is located in Shakiso, Guji, where the local people are known as "Guji Oromo", and coffee cultivation has always been an integral part of the highland culture of the area. This coffee is very different from the common Yegashifi or Sidamo; this coffee from the south is unique in geography, culture and flavor, but it also retains the common characteristics of African coffee: with citrus and floral flavors, the overall flavor is very lively. Kayon Mountain Farm is a family business, so coffee can be sold "directly". Most other small coffees obtain coffee trees from the Ethiopian government, so coffee beans must be sold and traded through the tightly regulated Ethiopian Commodity Exchange platform (ECX) (with the exception of cooperative members, but will not be discussed here). Kayon Mountain Farm has its own water washing and sun treatment facilities, and the processing, quality control and export preparation of raw beans after harvest are all done on the farm, and the coffee grown on the farm, like most Ethiopian farms, is a local species unique to the producing areas. Coffee trees derived from wild forests in western Ethiopia gradually spread to Haller in the east, and finally to small southern producing areas such as Guji. This special batch of coffee is treated in the sun, and the cherry coffee is harvested and the whole fruit is dried in the sun for about a month.

Cup test result

Intense aromas of wild berries, especially in light to medium-roasted dried coffee, with vanilla sweetness and a hint of flowers. If the coffee is roasted all over the city, the Dutch bitter cocoa powder will be very prominent and have a strong aroma, reminiscent of blueberry muffins: sweet muffin dough, maple syrup, and lots of blueberries. After the coffee powder is injected into hot water, the floral aroma becomes more and more obvious, with the flavor of heated caramel (caramel cream), sugar boiled berries and sugar-stained citrus, in sharp contrast. City-roasted coffee baked all over the city is perfect for handcuffs, with fruity aromas ripe into raspberries, plums and seedless grapes, with a hint of maple sugar. After the coffee is cooled, the flavor becomes more rich and varied, reminiscent of Luoshen scented tea, tamarind sugar, Sugar cane juice, and red cherries. Slightly deeper roasting in the city will bring out the cocoa or roasted flavor of coffee, as well as a hint of ruby grapefruit aroma. The coffee itself is very mellow, and the deeper the roast, the more you can taste chocolate, but it will not detract from the fruit flavor of the coffee, so this coffee is very suitable for mixed beans (either Italian concentrate or dripping).

In 2012, a number of local families set up Kayong Mountain Farm, led by Ato Esmael and his family, out of their pursuit of life and their obsession with coffee. The farm is committed to producing better quality coffee in a sustainable manner.

Ato Esmael

The Kayong Mountain Farm is located in the Oromia area of the Guji producing area in southern Ethiopia.

In the past, Guji was listed as the producing area of Sidamo, but although the shape of Guji coffee beans is similar to Sidamo, it has its own unique style. After years of debate, the Ethiopian government has granted Guji producing areas a unique geographical distinction.

Treatment of coffee by washing

In 2015, Kayong Mountain Farm had its own washing station and dry sheller, so they could export coffee. Such coffee from a single farm is rare in Ethiopia.

The Kayong Mountain Farm covers an area of about 240 hectares and uses natural shade, covering more than half of the shade area. Animal manure is the main source of fertilizer.

The harvest season is from October to January of the following year, when Ato employs more than 300 farmers to help with the harvest and processing.
