Timor: a hybrid of Arabica and Robusta found in East Timor, but closer to Arabica because its chromosomes are 44 in Arabica rather than 22 in Robusta. Tim's sour taste is low and lacks characteristics. Taiwan is often used to make low-cost formula beans, but East Timor also has a high-altitude purebred Tibica treated with water, which has now entered the boutique market in the United States. To buy Tim coffee, be sure to find out whether the product is mixed or purebred Tibica washed beans, the quality of the two is much worse, the former is mediocre, and the latter has the level of fine beans.
