A brief introduction to the main coffee producing areas in Ethiopia-Lim

1200-1900 meters above sea level

Pastoral, forest, semi-forest, plantation coffee system

Located in the highland plain of western Ethiopia, the average planting height in this area is significantly lower than that in other areas, but it does not hinder the availability of fine coffee. The Lim producing area is located in the southwest of the capital, and you can reach Jinma further south. Both belong to the coffee forest, north of Lim and south of Jinma.

It is also a natural conservation area for wild coffee trees. Limu coffee beans are mainly produced by local small farmers and have some large state-owned estates. The local coffee system of pastoral, forest, semi-forest and plantation is adopted. The coffee is planted at an altitude of 1400-2200m. The coffee varieties are mainly native varieties of Ethiopia (Heirloom), and the soil is Vertisols soil. The production season is between November and January of the following year. Most of them are washed with an annual output of about 110000bags/60kg.

Most of the bean body is round (15/16scr), the color is green with blue, and the export is mostly G2 grade. The taste is similar to Yega Xuefei, but the viscosity is thin, but the flower and fruit flavor is obvious, the sour taste is softer than Yega, and the more irritating acid, the aftertaste is similar to wine.

Generally speaking, lim coffee is less sour than washed Sidamo and Yega Chuefei, but the citrus aroma is still obvious, sweet, slightly spicy and well-balanced.

Because Lim has a good and balanced quality, it is a noteworthy Ethiopian boutique coffee after Yega Xuefei. But almost all limes are vertically integrated and exported by Ethiopian coffee organizations, so it is almost rare to see them in China.

The above is some related information about Qianjie coffee arrangement.
