Ethiopian Limu

About this coffee

Limu is in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. The coffee comes from around 560 of smallholder farmers in the Limu district of Oromia and is considered one of the finest highland coffees from Ethiopia. Commonly, Ethiopia coffee is collected at a centralised washing station from the many farmers that surround it, who frequently grow small amounts of coffee in ‘gardens’.

With so much natural diversity there, the attention to detail at the processing stage is key to a good coffee.

In the washed or ‘fully washed’ style of processing, the outer skin of the coffee cherry is removed immediately after harvesting, usually the same day the cherries were picked.
