Rotutu Washed, Timor Leste
Clean and well-integrated with sweet fruit notes, balanced acidity, and a medium body—a refined take on Timor Leste’s typically bold profile.
Timor-Leste, one of the world’s youngest nations, endured centuries of Portuguese rule and a long, violent struggle for independence from Indonesia, finally achieved in 2002. The coffee industry, introduced by the Portuguese, suffered neglect during these years but is now a key part of the country’s economic revival. In communities like Rotutu, farmers have partnered to establish processing facilities, improving quality and access to international markets—essential steps in creating sustainable livelihoods and rebuilding their futures.
