Default Re: What are you roasting today?

The Ethopian Limu Jimma - Alaga Sekala is very good! It definitely has the notes of citrus they describe. They describe it as being 'bright', but I'm not sure what that means.

I also found out that Limu is the region and that it's on the cusp of what was originally part of the Jimma region, which is why they list both? The Alaga Sekala is the name of the direct trade program they purchase the coffee through.

When I finish this up, I want to try a different region and look for more earthy type flavors. I think I will probably prefer that over the fruit flavors.

I can honestly say that the coffee beats the hell out of dunkin and starbucks.

If you want "earthy," I suggest some Sumatrans.
