Jimma zone is located to the southwest of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. Much of Jimma, like other coffee-growing regions in Ethiopia, is a vast, gently sloping plateau with incredibly fertile soil at high elevations.
The top-quality coffees from Jimma, especially those from the Limu, Gera, and Goma districts, are renowned for their vibrant and delicate fruit flavors.
Coffees from this zone, along with those from the nearby Illubabor region, are often labeled as “Limu”, a distinction based more on terroir and shared flavor profiles rather than geographical boundaries.
