Hatuhei - Timor Leste

Situated in the south-eastern part of Letefoho, the remote community of Hatuhei continues to be one of the region’s most difficult areas to access. Although there have been murmurings about governmental investment into improving road conditions in Hatuhei, this has yet to materialise and during the wet season, access in and out of the village is still only possible on foot.

2024 was the fifth consecutive year of Karst Organics working together with the coffee farmers of Hatuhei and Karst are proud of the positive impact they've had on the community. Whilst opportunities to earn money may be limited in this remote location, through the processing of speciality coffee, members have been able to steadily increase their annual household income. This has primarily been achieved through a sustainable pricing strategy which has seen yearly incremental increases in parchment cost and also through the promotion of rehabilitation activities in members coffee forests.

This years Hatuhei coffee will not disappoint and after 5 years of working together, partner farmers are acutely aware of the high standard of processing expected from the UK and European speciality market. Expect to find the sweetness of red apple and citrus, and milk chocolate undertones from this wonderful coffee which has fast become one of our most popular everyday drinkers.
