Timor

About This Coffee

This earthy, smooth bodied and floral coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Cooperativa Café Timor (CCT), which has more than 20,000 members living in the Ainaro, Ermera and Lequisa districts of East Timor. Coffee cultivation on East Timor was originally established over 400 years ago by Portuguese colonists but leaf rust destroyed all production until a new coffee varietal called Híbrido de Timor was introduced in the 1900s. The coffee is certified organic and sourced from small producers who typically cultivate coffee on less than one hectare of land.

Adventure Coffee Roastery

Adventure Coffee Roasting started in 2004 when Denise and Scott Gilliland began roasting on a small San Franciscan roaster and selling bags from the back of a pickup at Tucson farmers markets. By 2006, demand had grown enough for them to leave their day jobs. A year later they opened their first roastery and upgraded to a 25lb Diedrich, eventually adding a second Diedrich as the operation expanded. Everything they roast is 100% USDA Organic certified, sourced from farms practising pesticide free agriculture, and fair trade certified where available. The Gillilands pay above market rate for their green coffee as a matter of principle. After nearly two decades of building the business, Denise and Scott handed operations to their son Josh, making Adventure a second generation family roastery. It remains small batch, organic, and rooted in the same Tucson community where it started.
