ethiopia limu grade 2 is a washed single-origin coffee from the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia, roasted by dear deer coffee roasting bar in onehunga. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a clean, bright cup, and that shows here: expect lemon and red apple acidity up front, stone fruit and peach in the body, and jasmine and floral aromatics throughout, with caramel and cocoa rounding out the finish. it suits filter brewing methods that preserve its clarity and delicate florals, so a pour-over or batch filter will highlight the brightness best. keep water around 93-94c to avoid muting the lighter notes.
common questions
What does Ethiopia Limu Grade 2 taste like?
it leads with bright lemon and red apple acidity, followed by stone fruit and peach in the mid-palate, with jasmine and broader floral aromatics, then caramel and cocoa in the finish. the washed process keeps the cup clean and well-defined across those flavours.
How is Ethiopia Limu Grade 2 grown and processed?
it is grown in the yirgacheffe region of ethiopia and processed using the washed method, where the fruit skin and mucilage are removed before the beans are dried. this approach emphasises the coffee's natural acidity and produces a cleaner, more transparent cup compared to natural or honey processing.
How should I brew Ethiopia Limu Grade 2?
filter brewing methods such as pour-over work well here, as they preserve the clarity and floral delicacy that a washed yirgacheffe produces. avoid overly high water temperatures, as brewing around 93-94c will protect the lighter lemon and jasmine notes from being overshadowed.
