Ethiopia Limu – Organic – Tega and Tula Farm – RFA – Green – Archived

Taste: This Ethiopian exhibits a tart cranberry note with a slightly tea-like aftertaste and delicate mouthfeel. It would be a great blender with some of our more “chocolaty” varieties such as Mexican Chiapas Cristal or Colombia Gran Galope.

Roast: As with most Ethiopian beans, a lighter roast – especially when using in a blend – imparts the brightness and sparkle many roasters and coffee drinkers desire.  This bean has a lighter mouthfeel, and brought just to 2nd crack cups well on its own or in a blend.

About: Tega & Tula Specialty Coffee Farm is named after the two nearby villages of Tega and Tula, found in the woreda, or district, of Gibo, in Kaffa, Ethiopia. The farm is 500 hectares in size, with nearly 400 hectares planted in coffee, primarily Ethiopian varieties and cultivars that were released in the late 1970s (74110 and 74112, for example, are the “names” of two of these cultivars from 1978), as well as some wild coffee from the Kaffa forests, as the farm is in the Kaffa bio-reserve area. The farm is certified organic and produces both Washed and Natural coffees.
