About this coffee
Since first visiting the Rotutu community in 2017, Karst has recognised the exceptional potential of East Timorese coffee, particularly from the Letefoho sub-district. Building on that early promise, Karst formed a partnership with local farmers aimed at raising coffee quality, expanding access to international markets, and improving grower income. This has been supported through a cherry-purchasing model that has consistently delivered prices averaging around 30% above local commercial rates.
During the 2025 harvest, Rotutu farmers again opted to sell ripe cherries rather than process their coffee independently. Karst increased its purchase price to $0.85 per kilogram, well above the local commercial range of $0.50 to $0.60 per kilogram. The higher price rewarded selective picking and encouraged farmers to harvest only the ripest cherries, helping them maximise the value of their crop. With improved yields reported across the membership, 2025 proved to be a strong and rewarding season.
