Timor – Organic Fair Trade – Indonesia
From the mountainous regions of East Timor, covered in rain clouds and mists, this excellent growing region produces a distinguished and elegant coffee whose sales greatly help the Co-op member families.
Flavor Observations
Balanced and flavorful, full bodied with restrained of spice, well rounded, and smooth. Creamy richness and body you would expect form an Indonesian, but more refined with a clean aromatic finish.
Additional Information
Grown on family farms with the sorting of coffee beans done by hand, organic coffee from Timor is cultivated with no chemical herbicides or pesticides.
While Timor coffee represents less than 1% of the total Indonesian coffee production, it is crucial to the country’s overall economy and is the primary source of income for about 1/4 of the country’s population.
After the 1999 referendum for independence, the Indonesian army and its militias devastated East Timor’s coffee industry by killing and displacing farmers and their families, stealing and destroying most of the coffee crop, and destroying roads, warehouses, and other infrastructure vital to the industry. But with support, since 1994, from the US National Cooperative Business Association, some 19,000 small-scale coffee farmers have organized in 16 organic cooperatives and 493 producer groups to create a national cooperative structure known as the Cooperativa Café Timor.
The NCBA project has worked quickly and under difficult conditions, in order to help the Timor farmers export their crop and has used its profits to help over 1 million Timor residents with health care.
