The Rich & Mellow Recipe
To best showcase the bittersweet richness and clean herbal notes of this medium-dark single-origin, we recommend brewing it with parameters that emphasize body and smooth clarity:
- Dose / Ratio: 1:15 ratio (e.g., 16g of freshly ground coffee to 240g of water)
- Water Temperature: 88°C–91°C (190°F–196°F) to perfectly complement the Full City roast level without over-extracting.
- Target Profile: A dense, comforting cup highlighting deep chocolate notes and a sweet, lingering herbal tea finish with minimal sharp acidity.
Versatile Brewing Options
Thanks to its balanced, medium-dark profile, this selection adapts beautifully to your favorite setup:
- Espresso & Moka Pot: Ideal for a heavy-bodied, chocolaty base that easily cuts through steamed milk for rich lattes and flat whites.
- Siphon & French Press: Accentuates the deep bittersweet complexity and brings out the smooth, comforting, tea-like clarity in the finish.
Pro-Tips for Best Flavor
- Let it Rest: Allow your whole beans to rest in our sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This crucial degassing phase ensures an even, optimal extraction.
- Eco-Friendly Storage: Keep the beans right in their original packaging. Our eco-friendly coffee bags are made from 100% recyclable low-density polyethylene (LDPE), featuring a premium recyclable degassing valve and a resealable zipper. Store it in a cool, dark pantry—never the refrigerator—to protect it from flavor-destroying moisture.

Community Support
The Hummingfish Foundation has transformed the coffee industry in East Timor by teaching local farmers how to cultivate high-quality coffee beans. They focus on selecting only the best beans and use a meticulous process from washing to drying, packaging, and transportation. This careful approach allows the beans to be sold at higher prices in local cafés and overseas, with all profits returned to the farmers, supporting sustainable local development.Care & Storage Instructions
To keep your coffee beans tasting at their peak flavor, shield them from air, moisture, heat, and light.
1. Use the Original Bag
The packaging is already designed for optimal preservation. It features a resealable zipper and a recyclable degassing valve that lets carbon dioxide escape without letting oxygen in. Squeeze out excess air and zip it tightly after each use.
2. Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Place the bag in a kitchen pantry or cupboard. Keep it away from heat sources like ovens, microwaves, or sunny windows. Additionally, avoid storing it near strong spices, as coffee beans easily absorb surrounding odors.
3. Avoid the Refrigerator
Never store your daily coffee in the fridge. The temperature fluctuations from opening and closing the door create internal condensation, which ruins the essential oils and stales the beans rapidly.
Tip: If you bought whole beans, let them "rest" in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This allows the beans to de-gas, ensuring a smoother extraction for your espresso.
