Limu is a coffee-growing region in southwestern Ethiopia, within the Jimma Zone of Oromia. While it may not have the name recognition of Yirgacheffe or Guji, Limu is a favorite among specialty roasters who value its well-balanced cup profile, consistent quality, and excellent value-to-quality ratio.
Grown at altitudes of 1,400 to 2,000 meters, Limu coffees are predominantly washed (wet-processed), producing a clean, medium-bodied cup with wine-toned acidity and warm spice notes. The region's lush forest environment and moderate climate create ideal shade-growing conditions.
Limu's versatility is its superpower. It works beautifully as a single-origin pour over, adds complexity to premium espresso blends, and offers consistent quality year after year. For coffee lovers exploring Ethiopian origins beyond the famous names, Limu is a rewarding discovery.
Clean, balanced, and comfortingly complex.
Limu coffee is produced in the forest-rich highlands of southwestern Oromia, with production centered around the Jimma and Limu zones.
