Story

Triangle Accent

This coffee originates from family-owned farms organized around the Cooperativa Cafe Timor (CCT), a community with over 20,000 members residing in the Ainaro, Ermera, and Lequisa districts of East Timor. Coffee cultivation in East Timor has a rich history, dating back over 400 years when Portuguese colonists introduced coffee cultivation. However, leaf rust devastated production until the 1900s when a new coffee varietal called Hibrido de Timor was introduced.

Today, the average small producer cultivates coffee on less than one hectare of land. Established in 1994 with the support of the USDA and the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA), CCT aims to empower small producers by facilitating their international coffee marketing. Beyond its coffee-related initiatives, CCT has made significant contributions to healthcare. Through a free healthcare initiative, they have funded the operation of seven rural clinics, three mobile clinic teams, and eleven community healthcare teams, which have treated over two million patients since 2001.

Story:

Barefoot Coffee Roasters was born in 2003 from a simple idea: treat coffee as a culinary product by delivering seasonal, farm fresh beans with wildly intense flavors.  We travel to origin to find the most conscientious producers and hand select the coffees that take our breath away.. Most of our harvests are purchased from farmers we have known personally for many years, which results in a higher quality product that echoes our beliefs...

We roast with an emphasis on highlighting origin character versus roast character, enabling us to share with you the uniqueness of each coffee's terroir and inherent nuances. We choose flavor descriptors like banana split sundae, guava, chocolate ganache, cola berry and thick dollops of plum molasses because that's what you get with Barefoot Coffee. Are you craving Barefoot Coffee yet?
