This coffee is a washed lot from the Café Brisa Serena co-op in the Ducurai village, Ermera municipality of Timor-Leste. Grown at an altitude of 1250 to 1450 meters in clay loam soil, this coffee consists of Timor Hybrid and Typica varieties. It is processed by being fully washed and dried on raised beds. The flavor profile is characterized by crisp green fruit impressions, specifically green apple and lime, offering a consistent and comforting cup.
Mikey Rinaldo founded New Math Coffee in Chicago in 2020, bringing together his Indonesian heritage and passion for specialty coffee discovered during graduate school. After gaining experience roasting at Due South Coffee Roasters and Passion House, Rinaldo focused his roastery exclusively on specialty Asian coffees, importing quality robustas and libericas from Southeast Asia that are often overlooked in specialty markets. Vietnamese liberica coffees, including anaerobic natural processed varieties, showcase the botanical and cultural diversity that Rinaldo celebrates. By highlighting diasporic Asian coffee producers, New Math Coffee creates space for origins and processing methods that enrich the broader specialty coffee landscape.
