Ethiopia Limu 'Nigusie Lemma' natural process coffee beans

Ethiopia Limu 'Nigusie Lemma' natural

Country of Origin: Ethiopia

TIP: You can save products to your favorites list if you log in Our experiences with the prestigious small-holder developer and exporter Nigusie Lemma group in Western Ethiopia has been awesome. Even more striking is the fact that this coffee is milled by legendary Abdullah Bagersh of Idido Misty Valley fame! The natural-(dry-)process coffees from the mill are among the cleanest and defect-free we've ever seen from Africa, and an indicator that the Direct Trade Specialty traders have gotten around the restrictive ECX (Ethiopia Coffee Exchange)with a vengeance. We can't imagine this coffee becoming part of a larger, nondescript parchment lot...it's too special! The body is great; thick and creamy. We are doing a lighter roast profile to highlight the abundant fruit notes. The recently-offered Nigusie Lemma Djimma sold out so quickly we felt it necessary to bring in this fab coffee ASAP! Limited supply available...100 lbs.and counting!

" Kiflu Hussain July 7 at 9:09am · Surprise! surprise! I have never received a personal or official letter through my employer's mail box. This morning, the mailman came as usual and left a package on the table near the entrance to my office. I assumed that it could be something to do with the Institute I work for and addressed to our boss or the Coordinator as usual. When our Coordinator arrived, she said this is for you. Suspicious, I looked up the sender's name which is totally unfamiliar to me. Also checked from where it was sent. It's from Portland, Oregon. Although, I know two persons from Oregon, one living in Salem, the other one I don't exactly know, the package was not even from these friends. Meanwhile, I was sort of hesitant to open the package from a total stranger. But my colleague encouraged me, thus I opened it. It's from a guy who listened to my interview on NPR, The Takeaway. He told me that he's touched by the passionate discussion I had with John Hockenberry. Thus he sent me Ethiopian coffee imported from my country, as he has been in the business of roasting coffee since 2000 which inspired him to know more about Ethiopia. Well, it would be an understatement for me to say that I am encouraged by this person's kind gesture. I am also touched and humbled to have one more rich connection with a fellow human being."
