East Timor is a small island located between Sulawesi and Australia. Coffee production is the most important economy of East Timor, especially since the country gained independence in 1999. This coffee has the familiar Indonesian earthy, rich flavor. 

East Timorese coffee was first planted by Portuguese colonisers in the early 19th century. It was controlled by the military who largely neglected its improvement, and is now coming into its own at last.

According to government figures, East Timor's total exports for 2005 were valued at 8.1 millions dollars, and 94 percent of that was coffee. Some 45,000 to 49,000 farms, or more than 200,000 of East Timor's million strong population, depend on coffee.
