Kmen Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
Iron Lion is a naturally processed Ethiopian espresso from the Sidamo and Guji regions, produced in collaboration with the Daye Bensa processing station. Coffee trees grow at approximately 1,900–2,300 meters altitude, yielding slow-ripening cherries with pronounced sweetness and natural acidity. Ripe cherries are dried on African drying beds for 14–18 days. The Heirloom variety delivers flavor notes of plum, lemon sorbet, and green tea. The lot is organically certified since 2020.

Kmen Coffee Roasters
Opened at the end of 2021 in České Budějovice by a group of friends, they roast on a 15kg Giesen machine in an open space roastery with espresso bar, featuring flowery herbarium like packaging that represents the flavor profiles. Head roaster Petr brings years of experience. Their coffee is known for floral and fruity notes, and they've opened their first espresso bar at Budějovice train station. The team values diversity in coffee, rejecting the notion of one right taste.
