What makes this coffee so special?

Like many of Ethiopia's finest coffees, this lot comes from a blend of traditional heirloom varieties rather than a single cultivar. Generations of natural selection and farmer stewardship have created an incredible diversity of coffee genetics, giving Yirgacheffe its unmistakable floral, fruit-forward character.

This coffee is sourced through Ken Bon Coffee, a women-owned Ethiopian coffee company and one of JA Coffee’s long-term partners.. Beyond exporting coffee, Ken Bon works to strengthen origin through ethical sourcing, direct producer partnerships, and community development initiatives, while ensuring each lot preserves the regional identity, traceability, and quality expected by specialty coffee roasters.

Ken Bon, the Mother-Daughter Driven Exporters

Ken Bon, located in Shekiso, Guji, is more than a coffee exporter: it’s a hub for community collaboration. While the smallholder farms span over 250 hectares, mother and daughter co-owners Aisha and Danya work closely with them, sharing processing infrastructure and providing training on quality control and sustainable practices.

This cooperative model ensures traceability, ethical sourcing, and a higher standard of quality across all lots. By uplifting local producers and investing in education, Ken Bon not only produces outstanding coffee but also strengthens the fabric of Guji’s coffee-growing community. The result is a cup rooted in both excellence and shared knowledge.
