About Ethiopia Limu-3

Like many lots being bought out of Ethiopia, this is an ECX lot, so it is difficult to trace it all the way back to its origins … so we have to let our palates do the buying! With this one it was easy … all the complexity, flavour and sweetness you’re looking for from unwashed Ethiopians!

Now what we do know, is that this coffee is from within the broad Oromia region and likely from a special location within Djima, close the Kaffa region. The coffee is grown at good altitudes ranging from 1750-2100meters and will be processed through one of the many excellent cooperatives such as Kenteri, Babu or Gera.

All these coffees are special preparation unwashed; which means only the ripest cherries are picked, sorted through flotation then hand sorted. The best cherries are then laid out on raised woven drying beds for 2-3 weeks and slowly and evenly dried.
