How does delivery work?
Every roaster on Coffee Nerdery ships your coffee directly to you, usually roasted to order. So delivery is charged per roaster, and free delivery thresholds apply per roaster too, not across your whole basket. Order from three roasters, and each delivery is counted separately.
We know that feels unfamiliar, because the ‘everything store’ trained us all to expect free shipping on everything. But that "free" was never really free; it’s paid for by scale that small roasters can’t replicate, and margins squeezed from suppliers. Coffee Nerdery takes nothing from your postage. Every penny goes to the roaster to cover the cost of getting your coffee to you. Paying it directly is a small act of support for an independent business doing one thing exceptionally well.

What to Expect
This is a clean, bright washed coffee from Timor-Leste's Rotutu cooperative that leans into stone fruit sweetness without losing its structure. Grown at 1420 metres by a small group of twelve farmers, it's a medium-light roast that shows what Typica and Timor Hybrid can do when processed with care.
The Cup
The body is syrupy but not heavy — it coats your palate without weighing it down. Acidity is bright and citric, with orange and peach notes leading the way, backed by a floral hibiscus character that keeps things interesting. There's a treacle sweetness that rounds out the finish. This is a clean cup with no funk or ferment character — the washed process keeps everything transparent and origin-forward.
Who This Is For
If you like bright, fruit-forward coffees with good clarity and a touch of floral complexity, this will suit you well. It's approachable enough for everyday drinking but interesting enough to pay attention to.
If you prefer low-acid, chocolatey coffees or heavy-bodied espresso, this one won't deliver what you're after.
Best for: Filter drinkers who want a clean, bright cup with stone fruit sweetness and floral notes.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will give you the best clarity and let the peach and hibiscus notes shine through without muddying the syrupy body. Filter methods like a Kalita Wave or Chemex work well too, offering a slightly rounder cup while preserving the brightness. An Aeropress is a solid choice if you want a bit more body and sweetness — it'll emphasise the treacle character while keeping the acidity in check.

It is the fifth year I have had this amazing washed coffee from Timor and it always holds a special place in my line up as the first coffee I bought from Timor and Karst Organics and one that I enjoy and look forward to each year.
Expect a light bright coffee with syrupy flavour notes of orange and treacle
I’ve secured 4 half sacks of this coffee, it proves more popular year on year so I don’t expect it to be about for too long.
