From Ethiopia to You, with Love.

Lekempte

Located just north of the Djimma region where we find Limu, within the state of Wellega, Lekempte (or Nek’empte) coffees differ from most other African coffees because it boasts a heavy body rather than the medium to light bodies typical of Ethiopian and even other African coffees. This highland region is also home to the Wollega Oromo people, the clan for which the state is named.
