Coffee Mio Timor-Leste Blend
Verdict: Recommended
The Friends of Baucau, a support group for the Baucau region of Timor-Leste, import a fair trade organic coffee blend as a fundraising measure.
The beans are ground and packaged by Coffee Mio into 250g bags, which are available at selected City of Darebin and City of Yarra customer service centres. For further information refer to the Friends of Baucau website: http://friendsofbaucau.org/get-involved/buy-coffee/
The ground coffee is highly aromatic, with a strong, nutty smell which almost has a hint of the rainforest about it.
Once brewed the flavour is strong, robust and unapologetic. There is a good depth of flavour, with a sustained bitter and nutty underlying character which develops into a lingering aftertaste leaving a tingle on the tongue. This is a coffee which can be savoured rather than sculled.
If I had to think about the mental image that drinking the coffee conjurs up when I close my eyes, it would be the sort of coffee you would brew over an open fire in a rustic log cabin and enjoy drinking with friends.
