This coffee is from the Eratoi community in Letefoho, Timor-Leste. This area is known for its high-quality washed coffees grown at high altitudes. Eratoi’s coffee forests sit about 1,800 meters above sea level. They spread across the slopes below Mount Ramelau, the country’s most sacred mountain. The cooler temperatures at this height mean the harvest starts a bit later. This gives cherries more time to ripen and develop flavour.

Produced by a community of around 40 smallholder farmers, this coffee reflects the strength of collective farming and careful stewardship of the land. The Eratoi growers are widely recognised for maintaining some of the healthiest and best-kept coffee forests in the region, resulting in consistent yields and improved livelihoods year on year.

Strong local leadership and a focus on professional agricultural practices have helped raise both quality and volume, long before wider rehabilitation programmes became common. The result is a fully washed coffee that’s clean, structured, and full of character — delivering bold, balanced flavours that shine in the cup and reflect the care taken at every stage of production.

A standout example of what Timor-Leste does best, and a coffee we’re proud to share at Big Dog.

To ensure peak flavour and aroma, we roast in small batches multiple times per week at our local roastery. Every bag is shipped shortly after roasting, ensuring you receive it at the optimal point for degassing and brewing. We recommend resting your coffee for 5–7 days from the roast date to allow the flavours to fully develop before brewing.
