Timor-Leste - Rotutu - Washed

Rooibos, Citrus, Apricot

Rooibos, citrus, and apricot lead this clean, vibrant Timor-Leste washed coffee.

Sourced from the Rotutu community in the Letefoho region of Ermera, this lot showcases the clarity and balance that Timor-Leste is capable of. Expect bright citrus up front, followed by soft apricot sweetness and a gentle rooibos, tea-like finish.

Produced in partnership with Karst Organics, this coffee comes from a collective of over 140 households. Karst works closely with farmers throughout the harvest, supporting everything from picking and processing to infrastructure and training, helping to improve quality and ensure fair, consistent payment.

Process
After harvest, cherries are sorted and depulped before undergoing fermentation to break down remaining mucilage. The beans are then thoroughly washed and slowly dried. This process results in a cleaner, brighter flavour profile compared to other processing methods, making it a great reference point as we explore the same coffee processed in different ways.

Lovely mouthfull

I really enjoyed the Timor-Leste in a pour over. It has a full body with a hint of sweetness. I could taste the tangerine in the aftertaste (a pleasant acidity). I think this will be more evident in an espresso shot.

Definitely recommend.

First time ordering and really happy with it

Ordered a few bags for my partner to take on holiday with - arrived quickly though unfortunately (through no fault of their own) the parcel arrived split. They replaced it promptly with an apology.

Would definitely order from here again - good customer service and lovely coffee

Timor-Leste - Rotutu - Washed

This is one of my favourite coffees and this roasting hits all the right notes. Slightly acid initially followed by warm sweetness; perfect. It brews equally well as espresso, americano or cappucino.
