Support the newly independent East Timor. Coffee from Cooperativa Cafe Timor in the Maubisse region. This cooperative was registered as Fair Trade but lost this accreditation when it got difficult for certifiers to get out there during COVID-19. We don’t think this is a good reason to stop supporting them. Hopefully they will be recertified for next year. In the mean time, their coffee is still distinctive and delicious.

A rich, malty and plummy coffee with notes of lemon and toffee aroma.

Grown by 444 small scale farmer groups on small blocks 800 – 1600 m above sea level.

JOIN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY We provide jars and get them back to clean and refill with coffee at your convenience (eg left in letterbox on next order). The system is based on goodwill, a bit of organisation and the ample jars already in circulation in our world of plenty. We are always keen to upcycle your 700ml plus jars - Raglan coconut yogurt and big gherkin jars are good (please no previous contents other than food)- to join our fleet of waste-busters. For tea we are also after 250ml jars with wide lids (82mm). Jars hold 250g of coffee so if, for example, you order 1kg of coffee in swappa jar it will come in 4 jars. Jars keep your coffee (especially if ground) fresher for longer. Only available for Rotorua customers.

If you can't be bothered with all that jar upcycling stuff or are getting your coffee through the post, feel free to order in bags. Like most of these things, there tends to be a convenience/cost/impact trade off. Our paper bags are very simple and low impact. They don't contain fancy valves, plastic liners (plant-based or otherwise) or snazzy tin ties to reseal them. This means that they break down easy in your compost and are a good for lighting fires. It also means they do a lousy job of looking after your coffee. They won't keep it dry or particularly fresh. We recommend putting your coffee in an airtight container straight away. It is also ideal if there is a safe dry place to deliver to.
