    Making an impact with coffee together

    Together with Let Us Change, we selected 2 beautiful flavours from coffee's homeland: Ethiopia. Unique, delicate coffees with lots of fruit and soft aroma. The gourmet will discover floral notes of red fruit in Limmu Kossa, the Yirgacheffe is bursting with tropical fruit. Both 100% Arabica and direct trade (with greetings from the farmer).

    Recommended brewing method

    The adventurous flavours come out best with 'slow' brewing methods. Delicious as French Press (40g/500ml), filter (35g/500ml) or aeropress.

    TIP: Always allow boiling water to cool down, too hot water will burn your coffee. Between 90°C and 95°C is perfect.

    Lekkere Koffie

    Ethiopia, as the birthplace of coffee, is known around the world for its rich variety of coffees. Much coffee in Ethiopia grows wild to this day, which often gives the coffees something 'funky'.

    Producers & Cooperative

    Giday Berhe began his career as a coffee merchant in 1993 and in the following years opened wet and dry mills in Jimma to supply the market with quality coffee. In 2000, Giday established Limmu Kossa in the village of Galeh in Jimma, and today the farm employs 500 full-time workers who grow outstanding Ethiopian coffee varieties year-round on 356 hectares of land.

    processing

    Natural: "naturally processed coffee" ie the fully ripe berries are spread evenly on raised beds and turned very regularly to prevent mould growth (especially in the first few days). Dried in the sun for at least 12 days. Natural processing is 10x less water intensive than washed coffee, and thus more ecological!

    Variety: Heirloom (old varieties passed on from generation to generation).
