👨🌾 The Story Behind the Coffee
Ethiopia is coffee’s birthplace, and Limu sits in the western part of the country near the forests tied to Arabica’s origins. Limu overlaps with Djimma and shares a lot of character with southern regions like Yirgacheffe and Sidamo, especially those floral notes and citric acidity, while being known for a slightly fuller body.
The growing environment is properly wild (in the best way). Limu’s forests and abundant water help create hummus-rich soils, thanks to all the organic matter composting back into the land, keeping coffee trees naturally well-fed.
On the processing side, most farms are small semi-forest plots. Cherries are selectively handpicked, delivered to nearby washing stations, then floated to remove underripes and visually inspected. After pulping and fermentation (often wet fermentation, sometimes with water changes), parchment is washed and dried on raised beds where it’s regularly turned and hand-picked through for defects as it dries.
