Coffee Description
It's rare to find an Ethiopian coffee from a single farm with full traceability. This coffee comes to us from Kayon Mountain Farm's Shakiso location in the forested highlands of southern Ethiopia. The region's rich red soil creates a distinct and highly sought-after flavor profile. The cup is fruity and refreshing with notes of watermelon, blueberry, and violet mellowed with a pistachio sweetness.

About Kayon Mountain Coffee Farm of Ethiopia
The Kayon Mountain Coffee Farm bridges two villages, Taro and Sewana. Of its 500 hectares of land, around 300 are planted in coffee with the remaining land dedicated to acacia and other indigenous trees. Part of the farm is used as a nursery to cultivate additional native trees. These trees grow with the coffee plants to shade and protect them. The nursery also creates compost that is used as a natural fertilizer.

Red Rooster
Established in 2010 in downtown Floyd, VA (pop 432), Red Rooster was created with the simple notion of roasting excellent coffee for the owner’s existing coffee house. While we've won numerous awards and accolades for our coffee quality, our true passion is in making a positive social impact both at home and abroad at the coffee's origin.
