Kayon Mountain Farm keeps one washing station and one dry huller in the Shakiso District and has a sister company in the Guji/Kercha District, with two washing stations and a dry huller. All stations and hullers are committed to exporting traceable coffee.

Ethiopia is perhaps one of the best known coffee growing countries and rightly so as it is the genetic birthplace of the coffee tree. Ethiopian coffee shares a medium to full body, bright acidity, floral aroma and notes of berries and wine.
