Timor-Leste - Rotutu - Washed

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.
