Coffee of the Month Club: Organic Timor Coffee

Introducing Organic Timor Coffee, the exclusive coffee for February 2022 to Coffee of the Month Club members.

The history of this impressive coffee dates back four centuries on the island nation of East Timor in Southeast Asia. The first beans were planted by Portuguese colonists and lasted until an epidemic of coffee leaf rust necessitated a replanting of the beans. 

What emerged was a new varietal, Hibrido de Timor. 

Hibrido de Timor lies at the heart of the taste that awaits Coffee of the Month Club members in February. You can expect notes of sweet syrup blended with a hint of cedar and dark chocolate, coming together to create a smooth coffee with an incredible finish.

Organic Timor Coffee has an average sweetness, perfect for this high-bodies roast with low acidity. It’s produced by ​​Cooperativa Cafe Timor (CCT), which unites a collection of very small farms throughout the region. Beans are harvested and exported each spring, from altitudes of around 1,600 meters. They are fully washed and patio dried.

We are excited for you to taste this bold, yet smooth coffee from what was once a little-known and underappreciated coffee-growing area. In recent years, its reputation has grown immensely as more and more people take note of the exceptional coffee produced by Cooperativa Cafe Timor.

Our coffee is roasted fresh and delivered fast. Fire Department Coffee gives back to our fellow firefighters and first responders who have been injured on the job, mentally or physically, or who are facing other serious health challenges.
