About This Coffee

This organic coffee comes from Kayon Mountain Farm in East Guji, Ethiopia's southern Oromia region. The farm spans 240 hectares and is owned by Ismael Hassen and his family, who started the operation in 2012 with a focus on producing exceptional, sustainable coffee. The farm is situated on sandy, clay loam soil with natural shade. This natural processed coffee is picked, rinsed, sorted, and dried on beds for 12-20 days. Natural processing typically yields pronounced fruit, berry, and deep chocolate tones with winey characteristics and a syrupy body. Light roast.

Evans Brothers Coffee Roasters

Evans Brothers Coffee was founded in 2009 by brothers Rick and Randy Evans in Sandpoint, Idaho. Rick brought marketing and business expertise while Randy contributed over a decade of experience as a barista and roaster. The company started on a limited budget with a used Probat L12 and later upgraded to a Giesen W15, developing custom roast profiles designed to highlight the inherent character of each bean through lighter, sweeter roasts. Green coffee is sourced through established importers and direct trade partnerships with farmers across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, including a longstanding relationship with the Menendez family spanning more than 12 years. Evans Brothers has won multiple Good Food Awards in 2013, 2016, 2023, and 2024, and earned third place in USA Today's 2024 Best Independent Coffee Shop ranking. The roastery now operates locations in both Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
