Honouring the Heart of Timor-Leste’s Coffee Community

This past week, from November 17–21, Timor-Leste celebrated its coffee heroes at Festival Café Timor 2025—a national gathering of farmers, artisans, café owners, and baristas who keep our country’s coffee culture thriving.

We at ETTG, along with our brands Anchor Dairy, SKOL Beer, and East Timor Trading, are proud to stand with our coffee community as official sponsors of this year’s festival. Our contribution included: $500 cash award for the AeroPress Champion; Anchor UHT Full Cream Milk as the festival’s exclusive milk; Goodie bags and giveaways; and SKOL Beer support for hospitality partners.

A warm round of applause for the AeroPress 2025 Champion, who will carry Timor-Leste’s flag to South Korea for the international competition! We’re equally proud of the ETTG team’s Gloria Jean’s Café baristas, with one reaching the semifinals—an inspiring achievement. To all coffee farmers, roasters, and baristas: your dedication fuels a national treasure. We are honoured to support your journey.
