Description
Ethiopia Limu coffee with a vibrant, rounded character
Enjoy the expressive flavours of Ethiopia Limu, a specialty coffee from the Limu region of Oromia. Grown at around 1,600 metres and sourced from six farms, it brings East African Heirloom varieties together in a distinctive cup.
Fruity, wine-like notes meet rich sweetness and bright acidity, making each brew lively yet well-rounded. Compared with Yirgacheffe, Limu is less floral and offers a deeper profile with plenty of complexity.
Roasted light-medium, this washed 100% Arabica coffee suits both fruity filter brews and bright, complex espresso. Its balanced character makes it an enjoyable choice when you want a coffee with flavourful depth without losing its sweetness.

Caffeine and Heart Health
Ethiopia Limu Wild Heirloom is a naturally processed Arabica — lower in caffeine than robusta blends and smoother on the stomach than heavily roasted commercial coffee. Rich in antioxidants, its wild heirloom varietals deliver a clean, sustained energy lift without the sharp spike and crash of over-extracted alternatives.
According to the British Heart Foundation, moderate coffee consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle. A cup that's as kind to your body as it is to your palate.

Your Brew, Perfected.
Expert Tip: Grind fresh, every time — Ethiopia Limu's natural-process complexity is at its peak within minutes of grinding. Use a medium-coarse grind for French Press or Batch Brew, medium for Drip, and medium-fine for V60.
Brew at 93–95°C — just off the boil — to protect the delicate forest berry and honey notes from scorching. A 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio is your baseline; nudge to 1:14 for a richer, more intense cup or 1:16 for something lighter and more floral.
And always pre-wet your filter — it removes any papery taste and brings the brewer up to temperature before the first pour.

Origin
Ethiopia • Limu Region • 1,400–2,000m Elevation.
Grown in the ancient coffee forests of Ethiopia's Limu zone — widely regarded as one of the birthplaces of Arabica coffee. Wild heirloom varietals thrive here without cultivation, shaped by volcanic soils, equatorial rainfall, and centuries of natural selection.
Naturally processed and sun-dried, this is coffee as nature intended — untamed, traceable, and exceptional.
-
Storage & Freshness
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Our resealable pouches keep your coffee fresh after opening — but for peak flavour, grind only what you need and use within 6 weeks of opening.
Unopened, your bag stays fresh for up to 12 months. Avoid the fridge — moisture is the enemy of great coffee. For the best cup, buy little and often.
