Some of the most interesting tastes in Indonesia come from the Eastern Highlands of this immense island. The Timuza Coffee Cooperative represents over 200 small-holder farmers of the Kamano tribal group, located southwest of Kainantu in the hamlets surrounding Namura town. The soils are are a mix of black & brownish red loam, with predominately traditional typica grown under casuarina and albizia shade trees. Average farm size is 1.4 hectares per family, with adjacent gardens for cultivation of food crops such as sweet potato, taro, and cassava. Farmers have received training and assistance in financial management, gender equality, coffee husbandry and standards for processing through local partners. The harvest takes place from April through September, with selective harvest of ripe cherry, manually pulping, fermentation in traditional bilum bags, washing, and full sun-drying. In 2016, Timuza placed 1st in the National Cupping Competition.
In such a tribal, mysterious and paradisiacal nation, you'd also expect a wide spectrum of flavors, and Timuza does not disappoint In our medium roast there are notes of pineapple, cocoa, vanilla and pomegranate. Complex as espresso, velvety and punchy as drip. A lovely followup to our now out-of-stock Keto-Tapasi, which was a great hit!
