Most of the coffee produced in East Timor is a mixture of Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee, called Tim Tim (or Timor Hybrid).

At the beginning of the 21st century, Starbucks invested heavily in small farmers selling to cooperatives, while American companies remained the largest buyers of organic coffee in East Timor.

In the shade of Albizia falcataria, these plants grow up undisturbed and unaffected by the highlands of central East Timor, a mimosa species that reaches its peak.

Ermera is a small village with several ramshackle 20th century Portuguese buildings.

The main attraction is coffee cultivation in the area.

Coffee in East Timor is not grown in large plantations, but in the shadow of a large number of "mother trees". Their umbrella canopies protect coffee beans from the sun and Rain Water.

Everyone seems to own some plants, and between May and October, people harvest coffee from everywhere, keep some for their own use, and sell the rest to cooperatives that make deals with coffee shop giants such as Starbucks.

The coffee economy in Timor-Leste is changing and cooperatives and international assistance are in place to improve the quality of coffee and the lives of poor farmers. Literally, for most farmers, the road to the market is difficult. With Daowa, narrow, decades of damage and little maintenance, roads are one of the biggest challenges, especially in wet seasons. Infrastructure is improving and health clinics are funded by coffee cooperatives.

25% of East Timor's population depends on coffee for its income.

Coffee is considered to be one of the key areas of economic growth that help reduce the country's dependence on oil and gas revenues.

Hibrido de Timor (Kafe Timor), a rare Arabica / Robusta hybrid coffee in East Timor, is now popular in high-end cafes around the world.

The original Kafe Timor factory discovered 90 years ago still grows in the mountains of Fatubessi.
