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.

Ways to Brew
-
V60
V60 is a popular Japanese, cone-shaped pour-over coffee dripper designed for brewing clean, aromatic, and flavorful coffee. Known for its 60-degree angle, large single hole, and internal spiral ribs, it optimises water flow for a precise, quick, and customisable brewing process, typically 2-3 minutes.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
Bell's Beans
Bell’s Beans is a family-run speciality coffee roastery based in Surrey, founded by Chris after leaving a career in engineering to pursue his passion for coffee. What began as home-roasting experiments on a small Gene Cafe machine soon evolved into a micro-roastery built alongside his home, where he combines an engineering mindset with a deep curiosity for the science and variability of coffee roasting. Bell’s Beans focuses exclusively on speciality-grade coffees sourced through ethical importers and producers who support farmers and their communities, with a preference for quality and transparency over scale. Intentionally remaining small and independent, the roastery prioritises craftsmanship, seasonal coffees, and selective partnerships, reflecting a philosophy of modesty while consistently refining its pursuit of excellent coffee.
