Timor-Leste is one of the world’s youngest countries, gaining independence in 2002. As the country’s oil reserves begin to run dry, improving the coffee sector became critically important. Coffee is the country’s second-largest export after oil, with around 37% of households depending on it for income. Our partner, Raw Material, works with coffee producers in Ermera, home to some of Timor-Leste’s highest coffee production. Despite its potential, the region faces low productivity and volatile prices, making investment in coffee quality and processing especially important. In 2018, Raw Material built the Raimutin Wet Mill in Atsabe, Ermera. Designed in-house and using locally available materials, the mill was created to improve coffee quality while keeping the process simple and efficient. Sitting at 1,400 metres above sea level, it serves as a central hub for purchasing, processing, and drying coffee from producers across the municipality - as well as a meeting place for local communities and Raw Material. This coffee is part of that ongoing effort to build a stronger and more sustainable coffee sector in Timor-Leste.
This coffee is roasted for espresso, meaning that it will present with higher intensity, rich texture and sweetness, lower acidity and more distinct caramelization flavours. Espresso roasts have higher solubility, meaning that you will be able to access the coffee flavours with more ease. Even though it is more suited for espresso machines and mokka pots, you can definitely enjoy it in any other method as well if you're looking for a richer cup. Espresso roasts are at their best starting from 2 weeks from the roast date, so take your time with it.
We recommend you enjoy this coffee within 6 months of the roasting date.

Comércio de Café Sustentável
O percurso deste café, desde a quinta até à sua chávena, é fruto de trabalho árduo e de total transparência. Selecionamos os nossos grãos junto de produtores que adotam práticas agrícolas amigas do ambiente, torramo-los para garantir uma qualidade sempre excecional e embalamo-los em materiais recicláveis ou reutilizáveis. Para além disso, a nossa entrega é feita a pensar na redução da pegada carbónica. A sustentabilidade é um dos nossos pilares e o caminho que o nosso café percorre prova exatamente isso.
Acreditamos que um bom café de especialidade deve ser acessível a todos. Por isso, orgulhamo-nos muito de trabalhar com parceiros que partilham desta mesma visão. Se deseja proporcionar uma experiência inesquecível aos seus clientes, entre em contacto connosco e, juntos, vamos torná-la realidade.
