TIMOR-LESTE - AILEU (WASHED)

From the highland municipality of Aileu, this lot reflects the region’s fertile terrain and the dedication of its farming communities. Grown by smallholders and processed at Centru Kafe—equipped with wastewater treatment, biogas harvesting, and soon, solar power—this washed Híbrido de Timor delivers a rich, comforting profile. Cherries are floated, hand-sorted, and pulped before 24–40 hours of fermentation, then dried on raised beds to develop depth and sweetness. Expect smooth chocolate and roasted nut notes with a velvety texture, making it an ideal companion to milk-based drinks while retaining the quality and consistency that define Timor-Leste’s growing specialty coffee reputation.
