Limmu Kosa is one of the woredas of the Djimmah region, an inland city that is very close to Kaffa, the place of origin of coffee.

Woreda is the name given to the administrative districts, or local governments, into which the regions of Ethiopia are divided; they are equivalent to a district. Woredas are composed of a series of Kebele, or neighborhood associations, equivalent to a municipality, and constitute the smallest unit of local government in Ethiopia.
Akemel Nure Seraje is in charge of the washing station . Fully immersed in the third wave of coffee, he personally oversees the quality of the lots he exports.
Continuing his father's legacy, he claims to feel a passion for this world where he can experiment with processes and have fun while being able to see the results.

THE FARM

The Akemel drying station collects cherries from 700 small producers in the area, located between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level. Each owner has an average of about 2 hectares of land.

THE IMPORTER

This coffee is traded through ECX and purchased by Moplaco for export. Moplaco buys it as parchment coffee, so it's hulled, cleaned, and sorted at their facilities. The importer is our friend Mateo from XORXIOS, a green coffee importer based in Galicia. In our opinion, he's one of the best people we've met in this small world of specialty coffee.
