The Hummingfish Foundation (Hummingfish) is a charity registered in Hong Kong. Its founder, Daniel Groshong, once worked as a war photographer for ​​. He lived in East Timor for two years and combined the stunning natural scene of East Timor into the first TV series of a small country. Hummingfish has been working for coffee farmers in East Timor to produce coffee and develop green enterprises through natural methods. MMC is a key project to improve the lives of local coffee farmers and protect the local natural environment.

The emergence of Hummningfish Foundation has just changed this situation. The original mountain area is remote, nearly six hours' drive from the capital Dili, and the level of local infrastructure remains relatively backward, so not many coffee merchants are willing to go there to buy coffee beans from local farmers. Local farmers have to get together and ship them to the city, or sell coffee beans to a nearby market.

They teach farmers to plant, collect only the best coffee beans and settle by weight every day. After settlement, they will carry out a series of processes, from washing beans to drying beans, from drying beans to packaging and transportation, all meticulously.

After repackaging, coffee beans can be sold to coffee shops in East Timor and even overseas at higher prices, and all the proceeds will go to local farmers to continue to support local development.

East Timor alpine coffee bean species belong to Arabica, which is cultivated organically, insists on natural food without chemical fertilizers and herbicides, and absorbs nutrients contained in nature itself. the coffee grown is pollution-free, high-quality coffee.

Qianjie Coffee is recommended to brew East Timorese coffee with 89-90 degrees water.
