FULL-BODIED AND CHOCOLATY TASTE
Limu coffee is multi-facetted and delights your palate with its taste structure: after the first sweet and fresh coffee taste, Limu presents amazingly full-bodied aromas of dark chocolate – a result of the natural aroma of the coffee cherry.
Preparation tips!
Limu coffee is suitable for almost all types of coffee preparation, whether you are a fan of the French Press, the espresso pot, the fully automatic machine or manual brewing in the filter – Limu coffee will not disappoint.
Fresh and careful roasting in Berlin
The coffees are roasted freshly in our roastery by our roasters. They roast the Limu for about 16 minutes at 203 °C to bring out the fine nuances.

100 % from natural cultivation
The Kenissa cooperative with around 300 coffee farmer families is located in the Limu region in southwest Ethiopia. Kenissa is part of our quality improvement project, which we are implementing together with Welthungerhilfe in the Agaro region near Limu. Kenissa will receive a new washing station with a new eco pulper in 2018. In addition, the farmers are being trained to improve their coffee cultivation and harvesting so that they achieve better coffee quality. During harvest time, we send quality trainers to the washing station to inspect the processing of the cherries and give training on how to improve the quality. Kenissa has only been able to export its coffee for two years now, and as a result, the prices are higher than before. And the quality is exceptionally good.

.....als der von uns/mir über Jahre geliebte LIMU.
Ich bin insgesamt mit der Qualität der hier angebotenem Kaffee`s sehr zufrieden (gewesen??)
Lieder musste ich und auch unabhängig davon meine Bekannte feststellen, dass schon beim Öffnen der neuen LIMU-Packungen nicht mehr dieses gewohnte Dufterlebnis stattfindet.
Auch geschmacklich ist er nicht mehr der "Alte".
Das beobachten wir schon seit geraumer Zeit und ich habe lange gezögert, diese Bewertung abzugeben.
Ich habe hier im Umkreis einige Leute vom Geschmack überzeugen können, doch in letzter Zeit gibt es kaum noch positive Resonanzen. Schade!
Ich habe überlegt, ob ich hier überhaupt noch bestelle - vielleicht versuche ich es noch ein letztes Mal in der Hoffnung auf eine gute Charge!
Gut gemachter Kaffee, zeigt nochmal wieder eine andere Seite die Kaffee an den Tag legen kann.
Die auf der Packung beschriebene Traube ist eher weniger eine süße Traube, sondern geht eher in die Richtung eines frischen, halbtrockenen Weißweins.
Diese Weißweinnote mag ich persönlich nicht so gerne, kann mir aber gut vorstellen, dass es vielen anderen aber gerade gut schmeckt. Aus dem Grund gibt es hier trotzdem fünf Sterne.
in der French Press zubereitet, leider relativ sauer und so gar nicht mein Geschmack.
Sehr lecker
Schmeckt
