There are eight major coffee producing areas in Ethiopia: Lekempti, Limu, Illubabor, Djimmah, Harar, Teppi/Bebeka, Sidamo and Yirgacheffe.

Ethiopian coffee is highly rated in China, especially the Chinese people are particularly interested in and love the producing areas of Sidamo and Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia. 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.

Generally speaking, Limu producing areas are mainly water-washed beans, which taste milder than those in Sidamo, often with citrus characteristics; although not as famous as coffee from Sidamo or Yegashifi, they also produce coffee beans with many flavor features.

Friends who often taste Yega Xuefei and Sidamo coffee will have a different cup of washed coffee from Limu to add a different coffee topic. Coffee varieties are native to Ethiopia (Heirloom), and local small coffee farmers grow them in a 100% organic way. Soil is Vertisols soil. Plant between 1850 and 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.

Limu Coffee coffee is famous for its aroma and wine taste (spicy and Winnie flavor) and is very popular in Europe and the United States. The acidity and alcohol thickness are good, and the water-washed lim coffee is also the favorite of fine coffee. The bean shape is medium, greenish blue, mostly round.

Generally speaking, Lim Limu specializes in washed beans, which tastes milder than Sidamo and often feels like sweet lemon sugar. Although it is not as famous as coffee from Sidamo and Yegashev, it also produces beans with many special flavors.

Lim coffee beans are mainly produced by local small farmers, but there are also some large state-owned estates in the area. The local coffee is produced at an altitude of 1400-2200m, mainly native species, and the production season is between November and January. Jilo is a sub-city in the Lim region, producing coffee beans with a balanced flavor, sweet and bright taste.
