Coffee was introduced by the Portuguese and became the country's leading export - yet the industry was largely neglected during the long years of occupation. Today, Timorese farmers are reclaiming that legacy, rehabilitating their coffee forests and carving out a well-deserved place in the global speciality market.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAll coffee here is grown organically beneath native shade trees, fertilised only with natural inputs - chicken manure, cherry skin, and soil.
