Mocha Java Blend Fair Trade Organic

Mocha Java Blend blend is built around two standout coffees from the Kayon Mountain Estate in Southern Guji, Ethiopia. The first is a natural-processed coffee that brings a fruit-forward character to the cup. The second, a vibrant fully-washed coffee, adds brightness and delicate floral notes.

To complete the blend, we include a coffee from the Ketiara Cooperative in the Gayo Mountain region of Sumatra’s Aceh Province. Affectionately known as Queen Ketiara, this coffee is grown by the cooperative’s women producers. Its full-bodied, earthy profile brings depth and structure to the
blend, and together, these components create a complex and versatile blend with just the right amount of fruit presence.

Kayon Mountain Estate owner Ismael Hassen Aredo 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.

We were initially drawn to Ketiara not only for the exceptional quality of its coffee but also because of its inspiring leadership. The co-op was co-founded in 2009 by Rahmah, a charismatic and experienced coffee professional who now serves as its chairperson. What began with 38 members has grown into a thriving network of nearly 2,000 smallholder
farmers—over half of them women. The coffee we source from Ketiara comes exclusively from these women producers and is known as Queen Ketiara. We pay an additional premium for this special designation, with proceeds supporting programs that directly benefit women in the co-op.

All of Mocha Java’s components are both Fair Trade and Organic certified.
