Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
Ethiopia Limu is the cleaner, tea-like direction in the current 1718 Ethiopian range. The published profile combines lemon, green tea, jasmine, honey and citrus blossom with a silky medium body and bright, clean acidity. The coffee is identified as fully washed and grown around 1,800 MASL in the Limu area. Those facts provide production context, but the page does not claim that washed processing or altitude automatically creates clarity. The distinction comes from the actual sensory profile published for this product.
Recommended Brewing
-
V60: A natural starting point for lemon, jasmine and green-tea clarity.
-
Chemex: Useful when you want an especially clean presentation of the tea-like and citrus side.
-
Kalita / AeroPress: Good options for balancing clarity with a little more body.
-
Light Espresso: Suitable when dialled carefully for drinkers who want a brighter, lighter espresso direction.
1718 Brewing Tip: Use whole beans when possible and make small grind adjustments before changing several recipe variables at once; this helps you control brightness without losing the tea-like structure.
