Question 1

What does washed Timor-Leste coffee taste like?

Accepted Answer

washed processing shapes the cup before the roaster ever sees the bean. Across the 19 washed coffees from Timor-Leste currently on Tamp, including East Timor - Ermera by Terminal 3 Roasters, Black Rabbit Blend - Dark and Bold by Rabbit Island Coffee Co, EAST TIMOR Asico by LiLo Coffee Roasters, 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 2

Who roasts washed Timor-Leste coffee?

Question 3

How is washed 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.
