Coffee of the month

Mbili Twiga, Tanzania

Ermera is Timor-Leste’s main coffee growing region thanks to its high altitudes and lush, jungle covered slopes. Coffee from this part of the world has a unique flavour profile; a rich earthiness like dark chocolate, punctuated with warming spices such as black pepper and cola, all sweetened with juicy strawberries and cherries.

OUR BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

MEET THE PRODUCERS

Koileki Village

Work is currently focused namely in the municipality of Ermera, home to the largest coffee production volumes and the countries most important crop. Coffee is the second-highest earner for the country after oil, with 37% of households dependent on coffee for income.
Timor-Leste is the birthplace of one of the most historically important varieties of coffee. Around 100 years ago, by chance, an arabica plant crossed with a robusta plant to produce the 'Timor Hybrid.' The earthy flavour and disease resistance from the robusta gene crossed with the sweet, floral and pleasantly acidic arabica gene to create a mixture of both.

Social relationships

Economic Transparency

The supply chain - from farm to cup - can be a long and complicated road. Every person in that chain has to get paid from the sale of the coffee, so reducing the amount of middlemen means we can offer premiums to producers, without having to inflate the price to the consumer. Working directly with farmers is key to forging long term relationships, and we can commit to buying before the harvest has even started.
