There are eight major coffee producing areas in Ethiopia: Ekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimma, Harrar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

Ethiopian coffee is highly rated in Taiwan, especially Chinese people are particularly interested in and love the three more famous producing areas of Ethiopia, namely Harrar, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe. Sidama province is located in the south of Ethiopia, with Arsi province in the north, Bale province in the east and Gamu Gofa province in the west. The jurisdiction of Sidama province includes two well-known producing areas, Yirgacheffe and Kochere. The industry is dominated by agriculture, and the coffee growing area is located around the East African Great Rift Valley (Great Rift Valley).

Limu, located in the Limu region northwest of Djimma, is a collection of local coffee farmers. It won the third place in the 2016 annual competition held by the African Fine Coffee Association (Africa Fine Coffee Association) (referred to as AFCA). The competition is fierce, the number of participants is large, and the quality is not questionable. Coffee cultivars are native to Ethiopia (Heirloom) and are grown in a 100% organic manner. Soil is Vertisols soil. 1850 to 1900 meters above sea level.

The output of lim is low, and it is mainly exported to Europe and the United States. It is not easy to buy in China in the past, but it is very popular in Europe and America, and its fame is second only to Yega Xuefei. Lim's taste spectrum is different from that of Sidamo and Yega Chuefei: its body is thinner, and its floral and citrus aromas are inferior to those of Yega and Sidamo, but with a hint of grass and cocoa and sandalwood.
