Limmu Brew – Ethiopia

In western Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, the Bedeye washing station nestles in the Gomma woreda, in the Limmu-Jimma region, between 1,900 and 2,000 metres above sea level. Its founders, Ahmed Abateman and Khalid Shifa, work hand in hand with smallholders from the surrounding hills: training, cherry prices set in advance every year, and organic farming practices such as composting.

The Heirloom cherries, old indigenous varieties, are hand-picked from October to January, pulped and washed the same day, then slowly dried on raised beds. This lot comes from the second day of the harvest peak: a precise selection for an exceptionally clean cup.

In the cup: banana, apricot and black tea, with a soft, long, floral finish.

Roasted in small batches by Snob The Bob, near Nîmes, to preserve all the elegance of Ethiopia's great coffees.
