Ethiopia Limu Fully Washed G2

Ethiopia Limu Fully Washed G2 is a fully washed Grade 2 coffee with a clean, balanced profile. It’s known for a delicate floral aroma and a cup that leans towards citrus and black tea, with a fuller body than many other Ethiopian regions.

Limu sits in the Djimma zone in the western highlands of Oromia, close to forested areas linked with the birthplace of Arabica. The region is famous for abundant water and semi-forest coffee systems, which shapes both farming practices and the washed profile.

Fully washed coffees from Limu are typically pulped, fermented, and then washed thoroughly before drying. The region’s access to water means washing stations can wet ferment coffee, sometimes changing the water during fermentation, which supports clarity and a crisp finish.

Many farms in Limu are small, semi-forest systems, typically under one hectare. The shade and organic matter from the forest environment contribute to steady growing conditions and can help produce coffees that feel balanced and long-lasting in flavour.

In Ethiopia’s grading system, Grade 2 refers to both physical and cup quality. A Grade 2 allows between four and 13 full defects per 300g green sample, and the cup is typically fruity and clean without off-flavours.

You can expect a refined, well-balanced cup with florals and a tea-like structure. The page describes citrus and black tea, and the cupping notes are listed as spices, dandelion and black tea.

This coffee is listed at 1,500 to 1,800 metres above sea level. That elevation helps coffees hold brightness and aroma, while still developing enough sweetness and body to feel rounded rather than sharp.

This lot is listed as a mix of JARC varieties and local landraces. That combination is common in Ethiopia, where variety diversity is part of what creates the layered, aromatic character the country is known for.

The harvest window is listed as October to January. For roasters, that timing helps with planning, because washed Ethiopias can show best when they’ve had a little time to rest after arrival but still feel vibrant and clean.

You can choose green beans, or select a roast level through the Roast For You options. Roast For You follows the 6kg minimum green weight per single origin, and the page also notes a minimum commercial order of 50 kg for trade purchasing.
