The natural Limu flavor profile is aligned with its washed counterpart. And still, there are several cup attributes that make natural Limu’s a unique Ethiopian coffee.

Flavor Profile: Classic Arabica profile, smooth, mild, fruity acidity with a floral aroma

Flavor
Chocolate is a recurring theme in Limu’s and is often identified in naturals as well. Aside from that core, we once again found berry-like notes and a tendency to nutty undertones. Specifics are mostly citrics such as orange and lemon-like. However we did note that caramelized flavors tend to highlight the sweetness of these coffees, and sometimes they show more outspoken and identifiable flavors of strawberry.
Acidity
The acidity is diverse. Most cups we tasted had high acidity, but we also found coffees with medium and low acidity. The character of the acidity is bright and citric-like.
Mouthfeel
Mouthfeel is thin to medium, although mostly a solid “medium”. Often characterized as smooth when on the heavier side, the body can show less structured textures and slide with tea-like smoothness on the tongue.
