The Timor Hybrid is a unique coffee variety, a natural hybrid between Arabica and Robusta species, created to combat coffee leaf rust (Hemileia vastatrix). Known for its resilience and high-quality beans, it thrives in tropical climates and offers distinct advantages over pure Arabica varieties, especially in terms of disease resistance.

Flavour

Timor Hybrid beans typically have a strong, bold flavour profile. The coffee can have a fuller body and a mild acidity with earthy, woody, and sometimes nutty flavours. Although not as refined as some pure Arabica varieties, its balance makes it popular for blends.

Terrior

The Timor Hybrid thrives in well-drained, fertile soils, typically found in high-altitude regions. The volcanic soil of Timor-Leste provides the perfect environment for this hybrid, helping to impart a distinct flavour profile. The consistent rainfall and moderate temperatures in these areas support the hybrid’s growth.
