The unrest in East Timor has badly disrupted the coffee industry, so it’s good to see supplies flowing again.
Note this is a certified organic and Fair Trade bean.
Again, we have not been able to taste this prior to the offer, but here’s what our taster at the wholesalers says about Timor coffee in general and this bean:
“Organics particularly from the AIFU region have a pleasant degree of acidity with medium to full flavoured body. AIFU coffees are preferred due to their superior cup, which we normally see early in the season from April through until end December. In this crop, the green bean appearance is comparable to PNG’s, well balanced bright clean tasting. Most suitable roast is either light through to medium dark”
An initial 60kgs of this will be available through the December 14th offer.
*Update December 24th:* First impressions from batch roasted to just shy of second crack, and rested 4 days.
Very impressed with this bean. Excellent body, some elements similar to a good Java bean. Balanced acidity, with a hint of chocolate in the lingering aftertaste.
Very pleasing as an SO – not sure what I would do with it in a blend!
