East Timor - Eratoi

About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Eratoi in Letefoho, Timor-Leste (East Timor), growing at 1800 metres above sea level near the sacred Mount Ramelau. The coffee grows slowly under a natural forest canopy, with cooler temperatures helping the cherries develop complex, concentrated flavours. After careful picking, the cherries are floated to sort out defects, then sealed for a 12-hour anaerobic fermentation in Ecotact bags. Drying happens in two stages: first spread thin to quickly drop moisture from 68% to 25%, then moved into deeper layers for a slower finish over 20–25 days until they reach 9.5%. After a six-week rest, the coffee is hulled and ready for export. This careful, staged natural process gives Eratoi's coffee its distinctive texture and depth - a full, structured cup.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
