Wild Timor Coffee

Timor-Leste


A handful of coffee cooperatives operate in Timor-Leste; this one was set up by Australian soldiers who served post-1999. Wild Timor Coffee has a cafe in Melbourne, Australia, but here you can tour the coffee plantation before enjoying a cup of it in the modest family house of the farmer. Timor Adventures stops here en route to Mt Ramelau.
