Kape Diem's Miledis Lopes inspecting harvested ripe coffee cherries in basket in Ermera Timor-Leste

Timor-Leste is a new addition to the Project Origin specialty coffee offering, and we couldn’t be more proud of the collaborative work taking place. With the help of international partners Kape Diem, 1LM and the Australian Government, Project Origin is investing in better equipment and worker training to increase the production of coffees growing in Timor-Leste. We have goals of exponential growth and increasing fair and equal work for coffee producers, and we believe, that with a little bit of love and support, the farmers and communities in these areas will flourish in the world of high quality specialty coffee.
