Freshly-ground beans will help you to brew a cup full of flavour, check out our selection of manual and electric coffee grinders.

If you're ordering whole beans, we recommend allowing the coffee to rest for at least 10 days after roast before brewing. If you're ordering ground coffee, use immediately.

Atsabe

Twenty-two years since its sovereignty, Timor-Leste is one of the world's youngest countries. As it matures, the development of its agriculture sector has become a key foundation for economic stability. And, with its natural reserves of oil drying up, coffee will become the country's most important export in the very near future.

Already, 37% of Timor-Leste's households are reliant on coffee for income. Since 2018, green coffee exporters Raw Material have invested significantly in the country's coffee growing infrastructure.

A number of washing stations have been constructed to support often-isolated coffee growing communities, including smallholders across the Ermera subregion of Atsabe. This lot has been collected from the Malabe and Raimutin stations - both of which process coffees from small villages in Ermera.

In the cup this coffee wonderfully smooth and full of rich fruit flavours. It will shine brewed as filter and as espresso. Enjoy.
