ETHIOPIA • ISMEL HASSEN

a ‘natural processed coffee’ meaning seeds dry with the cherry fruit intact. kayon uses acacia shade covering for a controlled and even drying process. the resulting cup is balanced and sweet with a heavy mouthfeel. the acidity is beautifully bright like fresh orange juice. the fruit and berry notes are intense with bursts of blackberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry. the finish is big and sweet, like a icy cup of sugary pink lemonade sipped while enjoying a long summer sunset.
