Coffee flavor and taste of washed organic beans from East Timor Maubesse region? What are the types of coffee in East Timor?

East Timor, located between Indonesia and Australia, was formerly a Portuguese colony; after Portugal left in the early 1970s, Indonesia invaded and persecuted the islanders, leading to the independence of the East Timor people. After years of struggle, they finally elected their own president in 2002. East Timor should be the largest organic coffee producer in the world because it has not used chemicals and fertilizers for the past 25 years.

In the process of confrontation with Indonesia, East Timor's economic system was persecuted, while Timor coffee beans not only declined from 45000 tons to 6000 tons, but also had unsatisfactory quality. Since 1994, with the assistance of traders, EU and USAID, East Timor organic beans were upgraded, washed and planted with better typica varieties. Good reputation made East Timor organic beans famous in fine coffee circles.

This batch is a small import of 100% organic beans from Maubesse's Cafe Cooperativa Time (CCT) cooperative, approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)(Note: The Organic Food Production Act (OFPA) passed in 1990 requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to develop a set of common national standards and regulations for organic agricultural products so that consumers can identify organic products. All products labeled "organic" must be certified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) by a state or private organization, such as OCIA, which is common in the coffee industry, and Skal-International, which helps CCT certification, are organic certification organizations and approved by the USDA, and are among the organizations that certify [organic coffee beans].)

Analysis: The ribs at the bottom of the KONO cup are not many, and the filter paper is attached to the filter cup to achieve the purpose of limiting the airflow, so that the water and coffee powder can have a longer contact soaking time in the filter cup to ensure the extraction time and extraction rate of coarse grinding. This allows the coffee powder to be fully extracted, enhances the mellow taste, and makes the taste more concentrated.
