Side Note: This coffee has some Robusta in it so it has a bit more caffeine.
Cupping Notes:
This is a dark roast coffee. There is some robusta in these beans, so a bit more caffeine than most. Dark Medium has a clean taste, sweetness, no earthy aftertaste. The full rich-bodied Indonesian flavor.
Dark gets a more traditional Indonesian profile -- no acidity, less complexity, but still a nice caramel apple sweetness to it.
Certifications: Organic, Free Trade
Farming notes: East Timor grows and processes coffee much like its neighbors in Sumatra and Sulawesi. The Coffee Cooperative of Timor (CCT) has organized farmers in the growing regions of Aifu and Ermera to produce this coffee. The hybrid of coffee grown in Timor has a robusta strain in it, and while it doesn't hurt the taste of their coffee, it does give it quite a bit of extra caffeine. Actually, the quality of Timor beans has been improving year after year, and it's to the point where there are some interesting complexity and flavors to be found.
Recommended Roast: Medium-Dark to Dark
Good for: Pour-over, drip, emulsion
