Limu from Barista On Duty – What I’m Drinking
by Mike on November 19, 2009 in Coffee Reviews
The Drink: Limu from Barista On Duty
Type: Whole Bean
Overall Rating: 3.25 out of 5 coffee cups
Last night, I was sipping on Limu from Barista On Duty. It’s the third coffee that he sent me to sample earlier this month. I thought that the Yirgacheffe was above average and the Harrar was amazing. The Limu was good, but I think it could’ve been better.
It was my first time tasting any coffee from the Limu region of Ethiopia. I even had to look it up to see where the region was located (Western Ethiopia for those who were curious.), so I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I poured it until my cup.
The aroma was a mix of nutty, earthy and slightly wine-like. It was pleasant, but didn’t blow me away like the Harrar.
Half of me liked the taste, the other half thought there could’ve been more to the taste. The taste was a delicate mixture of a wine-like flavor, chocolate and dark cherries. It wasn’t bad, I just felt like it was about ready to burst of my tongue with flavor, when it didn’t.
The after taste was filled with a nutty-cherry mix.
Overall, it was a very smooth coffee and I could see myself drinking this again. After reading Paul’s review of the Limu at Caffination, I think he was right on point about this one. It could’ve been roasted a little longer to pull out more of the flavor.
It’s really not fair to taste this coffee after tasting the Harrar. The Limu is still an above average coffee with a 3.25 rating, but it wasn’t knock my socks off great.
I highly recommend following Barista On Duty on Twitter. I also think that everyone should support an independent artisan roaster and try out some of his coffees.
