What to Expect
This natural-processed coffee from Timor Leste's Eratoi group brings stone fruit sweetness and a tea-like elegance you don't often find from this origin. Expect nectarine and peach up front, with a subtle Assam tea character threading through the cup.
The Cup
The body sits somewhere between silky and juicy — not heavy, but with enough weight to carry the fruit notes without feeling thin. Acidity is moderate and malic, like biting into ripe stone fruit rather than citrus sharpness. The 12-hour anaerobic fermentation adds a gentle berry sweetness (think Ribena) without tipping into funky or boozy territory. It's a clean natural — fruity, but not polarising.
Who This Is For
If you like fruit-forward coffees but find some naturals too intense or fermented, this is a good middle ground. The omni roast makes it flexible across brew methods, and the 1800-metre altitude keeps things bright without being sharp.
If you prefer chocolatey, low-acid coffees, this won't be your style.
Best for: Filter drinkers who want approachable fruit character and espresso drinkers chasing sweetness over intensity.
How to Brew This Coffee
A V60 will highlight the nectarine and tea notes with clarity, letting the fruit shine without muddiness. Filter methods work beautifully here too, offering a clean, balanced cup that shows off the careful processing. For espresso, the omni roast delivers fruit-forward shots with good sweetness — try it on an espresso setup if you like juicy, approachable pulls rather than heavy, syrupy ones.

Timor Leste is not known for producing many naturally processed coffees. But here, in a fantastic collaboration with Chris at Bells Beans, we bring you Eratoi Natural.
We tasted nectarines at first followed by more subtle notes like tea and finally a few more deeper, Ribena-like flavours. Omni roasted, giving a delightful, nuanced cup in filter brews and a pleasing fruit-forward espresso.
This coffee is roasted by us, you can buy the Bells Beans version here, roasted to the same profile, can you tell the difference…?

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.
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
