Jasmine, bergamot, and the wild complexity that only Ethiopian coffee can deliver. If you love floral, aromatic coffees, Ethiopia Limu belongs in your rotation. Ethiopia is where coffee comes from — literally.
The forests of Kaffa in southwestern Ethiopia are the ancestral home of the Coffea arabica plant. The Limu region, in the nearby Jimma Zone, produces a distinctive style: complex, aromatic, and alive with the natural flavours that wild genetics produce. Where our Yirgacheffe is blueberry-vivid and fruit-forward, Limu takes a different path — more floral, more aromatic, with a jasmine-like elegance and a bergamot brightness that's reminiscent of Earl Grey tea. It's quieter than Yirgacheffe, but no less captivating.

How to Brew Ethiopia Limu

- AeroPress — Concentrated and aromatic. The bergamot brightness really pops.
- Filter / Drip — Clean and easy. The jasmine notes come through beautifully.
- Cafetière / French Press — Fuller-bodied, with the florals becoming more muted but the body more prominent.
- Espresso — Unusual but interesting. A very floral, tea-like espresso that's unlike anything else.
