Buying Tips

  • Region: Maubisse in central Ainaro is among the country's highest growing areas, with a cool climate and large day-night swings, giving a brighter cup than Ermera
  • Varieties: Old Typica trees grow alongside Timor Hybrid, combining a refined mouthfeel with disease resistance

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 91°C, ratio 1:15
  • Iced: The citrus and caramel sweet-tartness stays clear when chilled
