The term “Lekempti” refers to a coffee-producing area in western Ethiopia’s Oromia region, known for its warm days, cool nights, and ideal climate for coffee cultivation. Compared to higher-grown Sidamo and Yirgacheffe, Lekempti’s generally lower elevation shifts the cup profile from bright floral and citrus to richer chocolate, spice, and earthy complexity.
This naturally processed Lekempti is sun-dried in its fruit, enhancing its layered sweetness and rustic depth. We’ve roasted it on the darker side of medium to highlight rich cocoa, a velvety body, and warm spice - perfect for those who love Ethiopian complexity with a bold, satisfying twist, whether brewed as a filter coffee or a smooth, chocolatey espresso.
