Question 1

What does natural Timor-Leste coffee taste like?

Accepted Answer

natural processing shapes the cup before the roaster ever sees the bean. Across the 12 natural coffees from Timor-Leste currently on Tamp, including Atsabe by The Roasting Party, Atsabe, Natural by Five Senses Coffee, East Timor - Rotutu by Clifton Coffee, the character comes from the interaction of Timor-Leste's growing conditions with how the cherry was dried. Each coffee below carries the roaster's own tasting notes.

Question 3

How is natural processing different?

Accepted Answer

Washed coffees have the fruit removed before drying, giving a clean, acidity-forward cup. Naturals dry with the fruit still on the bean, producing heavier, sweeter, fruit-driven flavours. Honey sits between the two. Anaerobic lots ferment in sealed tanks, which pushes the cup further toward intense, sometimes boozy fruit.
