This coffee comes from within the Limu area within Djimmah region at elevations ranging from 1,400 to 2,200 masl in southwest Ethiopia. Limu coffee is not just Washed Djimmah. It has its own special genetic profile and its own unique cup profile, which is like a smooth red wine, an elegant coffee. All sundried coffee from Limu has been traditionaly exported as Djimmah, while all washed coffee from Djimmah has been exported as Limu. This approach, unfortunately, contributes to the incorrect perception that “Limu” is simply a washed Djimmah when in actual fact; coffees from Limu are quite distinct and beautiful.
