The Ethiopia Limu Jimma Coffee Story

Our first Washed coffee!

Jimma Farmers Multi-purpose Agricultural Cooperative Union (JFMACU) is a well-established cooperative based in Ethiopia's Jimma Zone, part of the Oromia Regional State. It was founded in 2004, starting with 14 primary cooperatives and 7,818 members. Over the years, it has expanded significantly, now consisting of 212 cooperatives and 141,146 farmer members, including 28 coffee-producing cooperatives.

The union operates in prominent coffee-growing areas such as Mana, Kersa, Shebe, Seka Chekorsa, and Mencho, covering 11,073 hectares of production area as of 2023. JFMACU is known for producing high-quality washed and natural coffees that are cultivated at elevations ranging from 1,800 to 2,300 meters above sea level. The region's favourable tropical climate and abundant rainfall contribute to the distinctiveness of its coffee.

In addition to coffee production, the union actively supports community development projects. These include constructing schools and health centres, providing clean water, and supporting educational initiatives. Such efforts aim to improve the living standards of farmers and their communities.

Pairs perfectly with: Fatso Foursome which contains two fantastic chocolates that will match wonderfully with this coffee. This coffee's toffee and dark chocolate notes will beautifully complement the buttery biscuits and toffee in the Nan's Stash bar, while the plum raisin notes can offer a subtle fruity contrast to the peanuts. This will also be great with the honeycomb in the Fatso Home Run bar. The plum and fig notes of the coffee will provide a pleasant counterpoint to the saltiness of the pretzels and almonds.
