Timor Leste (East Timor) is a consistent source of balanced, clean coffees and the first offering from the region for Top Cup. These farmers are delivering whole coffee cherry to a central processing station instead of managing the wet processing individually at home. The Daurfusu wet mill is located in Dukurai village, Letefoho District. Initially comprised of 37 members in Dukurai, the operation has cast a wider net this year and is buying coffee from neighboring high altitude zones as well. Farmers in this area are growing a mix of cultivars, mostly Timor Hybrid and Typica, at altitudes of 1400 to 1600 meters above sea level. This is another beautiful Farm Gate coffee and an excellent choice for espresso.
