Origin Story

Ismael Hassen Aredo

This coffee comes from the Kayon Mountain Estate located in Southern Guji, Ethiopia. Coffee estates in this region, and more specifically in Odo Shakisso where Kayon Mountain Estate is located, are often credited for putting the Guji region on the specialty coffee map. Farm owner Ismael Hassen Aredo competes with the area’s precious metal mines for seasonal workers and pays higher wages to incentivize them to return year after year. In addition to managing the 300 hectares of coffee planted on the farm, Ismael provides training for 140 nearby smallholder farmers, helps finance social initiative projects such as the construction of schools, and plans to build a bridge across the Sawana River to make the walk to school for the children of the community more safe.
