Timor-Leste, located between Indonesia and Australia, was formerly a Portuguese colony. In the early 1970s, after Portugal's departure, Indonesia invaded and brutally persecuted the islanders, leading Timor-Leste people to pursue independence. After years of struggle, they finally elected their own president in 2002... Timor-Leste should be the world's largest organic coffee-producing country because no chemical agents and fertilizers have been used in the past 25 years.

During the confrontation with Indonesia, Timor-Leste's economic system was almost completely devastated. Timor-Leste coffee beans not only saw production decline from 45,000 tons to 6,000 tons, but quality was also very unsatisfactory. Since 1994, with assistance from traders, the European Union, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), equipment has been updated, the washed processing method has been adopted, and superior Typica varieties have been cultivated. Good reputation has made Timor-Leste organic beans famous in the specialty coffee circle.

This small batch introduction is 100% organic beans produced in Maubesse by the Cafe Cooperativa Timor (CCT) cooperative, approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (Note: The "Organic Food Production Act" (OFPA) passed by the United States in 1990 requires the USDA to develop a set of universal national standards and regulations for organic agricultural products, so that consumers can identify organic products. All products labeled "organic" must be certified by USDA-approved state or private agencies. For example, OCIA, commonly seen in the coffee industry, and Skal-International, which certifies CCT, are both organic certification agencies and have passed USDA approval, all belonging to one of the institutions that can certify [organic coffee beans].)

CCT is a small farmer cooperative. In Maubesse, they all grow Typica varieties and use full shade cultivation to avoid excessive and strong sunlight. After harvesting, they use refined water processing methods and carefully select green beans. After cupping, they select those with prominent aroma and taste that meet the criteria: sweet, medium to highly acidic with good body, creamy and an aromatic finish, as well as beautiful bean appearance, and export after multiple manual sorting and grading!
