From ONA Coffee
We love this Ethiopian Heirloom for its fuller body and sweetness present. This special filter has wonderful honey notes that leads to a zest of lime and a beautiful floral finish.
Primrose Coffee has been instrumental in showcasing the unique offerings of Limu, Ethiopia, a region in the Oromia area renowned for its exceptional washed coffees. While Limu might not have the same international recognition as Yirgacheffe, Primrose is dedicated to highlighting the region's distinct characteristics. Limu coffees are celebrated for their mild acidity, sweet and spicy flavours, and subtle winey notes with floral overtones.
Primrose sources its coffee from high-altitude areas like Gera and Kossa, where elevations range from 1,700 to 2,000 metres. These regions benefit from fertile soils and tropical conditions, which contribute to the coffee's quality. At the heart of Primrose's operations are the local washing stations. Here, coffee cherries are carefully depulped, fermented, and washed before being dried on raised beds. This meticulous process accentuates the natural flavours and ensures the coffee’s quality. Unlike the nearby Djimmah, which is known for dry-processed coffee, Limu’s washed coffee, championed by Primrose, is valued for its clarity and bright cup profile.
