About Ethiopian Limu
This premium washed single origin coffee comes from Limu which lies within the Djimma zone in the western highlands of Oromia, Ethiopia and is grown at altitudes of 1,500 to 1,800 meters above sea level.
Most farms in Limu are semi-forest systems, typically under 1 hectare, the forests create the perfect conditions for organic matter like fallen leaves and dead trees to compost and return their nutrients to the soil. This cycle of dirt returning to dirt results in hummus-rich soils that keep the coffee trees well fed. Farmers then selectively handpick their cherry and deliver it to their nearby washing stations where at intake, the cherry is floated to remove underripes and then visually inspected for any damage.
We roast this coffee to-order in small batches from our Northumberland based roastery to ensure optimum freshness and flavour by the time it makes it into your mug.
