At Jasper Coffee, we have been roasting East Timor beans since 1998. The earlier lots were from Mt Ramalu, but late in 2000, we moved to the wonderful creamy bodied Maubisse coffee. This coop coffee had more consistency and the quality of flavours elevated. This was achieved by the attention to quality picking, better agronomy practices, and introduction of quality washed processing, along with close attention to the parchment drying.

By 2003, this Maubisse coffee was the first Fairtrade Certified and Organic Certified coffee introduced for roasting to Australia, along with the COOCAFE Fairtrade beans from Costa Rica. Jasper Coffee was the first licenced Fairtrade roaster in Australia and without the initiative of H.A. Bennetts, the Importers, Fairtrade would not be where it has risen today in the Australian market.

This East Timor Maubisse coffee through CCT Coop, was truly the vehicle of Fairtrade in the beginning. While it no longer Fairtrade certified, we have been roasting this unique East Timor Arabusta and supporting this co-op for a very long time.

Throughout the years, through coffee sales of East Timor Maubisse Organic, the Coop has built 8 Medical Care Stations, including a Birthing Center along with 23 mobile medical facilities. These have been used by 2000 people monthly, and now are supported with solar operated mobile phone charging ports to allow full communication with these remote clinics.
