Southwest Region
Limu, Jimma, Bonga Area, and Forest Coffees
Limu coffee grows in the southwest of Ethiopia between 3,600 and 6,200 feet. Limu coffee (all washed) generally has a milder acidity than Sidamo and Yirgacheffe; the flavor is generally characterized by a balanced and clean cup. Traditionally, Limu coffees marketed under that name have been processed washed; the unwashed Limu coffees have normally been offered under the Djimmah category.
