Nekemte Coffee

🌾 Leqimti (Nekemte)

Leqimti — also known as Nekemte — is located in the East Wollega Zone of western Ethiopia, in the Oromia Region.
This highland area, rising between 1,700 and 2,200 meters above sea level, produces large, long-bean Arabica coffees known for their sweet, mild, and balanced cup profile.

Leqimti coffees are traditionally naturally processed (dry-processed), which enhances their fruity and wine-like notes, while washed varieties from newer cooperatives showcase a cleaner, brighter flavor.

Collection & Processing Centers:

  • Nekemte Dry Processing Station

  • Gimbi Cooperative Union

  • Leqimti Washing Station

Cup Profile: Sweet chocolate, mild fruit acidity, winey body, and floral finish.
