	Great organic coffee Tip Rating:

roasted coffee

by travelbugchris

East Timorese coffee is great! It has been grown organically since the Portuguese introduced it. Although the locals generally roast the coffee beans until they are black (charred!) the coffee still tastes good because of its low acidity.

Some of the coffee (especially the robusta variety) is high in caffeen - not great if you are in a little village where everyone goes to sleep at 7pm.

Most countries will let you take coffee beans in with you, provided they are roasted so why not take some home from your trip to share with your friends?

There are cooperatives that have been established with the stated intention of benefiting the small farmers and, of course some are better than others. A big USA backed cooperative was the main player when I was there in 2000 and received mixed reports (especially negative reports from the party beaurocrat who wanted to monopolise the coffee trade and was threatening local farmers). Anyway, you should be able to buy coffee direct from the farmers.
