East Timor (newly named Timor-Leste) Maubesse
Timor Maubesse is a sweet coffee with remarkable complexity. Starting with the aroma which has distinct leathery and winey notes to the cup, where the wine tones deepen and give a smoky edge. Certified as organic, Maubesse is considered to be full-bodied with subtle spice. A natural acid helps to provide a smooth balance.
This beautiful jade green coffee is grown by small holding growers in central Timor who bring their crop down from mountain gardens to be processed in the town of Maubesse (3000ft above sea level). Maubesse is the higher-altitude coffee and the brighter of the other Timorese coffee, Aifu so most prefer it. Since independence the co-operatively owned Timorese coffee processing plants have invested in new facilities, wet-processing equipment and improved standards of receiving and sorting only red, ripe cherry. Maubese coffee is also a favourite as a dark roast. You’ll find velvety, syrupy smooth body and smokey toasted nut sweetness in the cup. If you like dark roasted Sumatra coffee, this coffee will most likely become one of your favourites.
