HEARTWARMING Encounter in East Timor's Highland 🇹🇱

When leaving the capital city Dili, East Timor offers a nature paradise. Close to the highest peak of East Timor (Mount Ramelau) lies a quite famous village called Maubisse.
Maubisse is especially known for its unique hybrid coffee. In East Timor coffee production is one of the key industries in the country. East Timorese coffee is on of the finest and most unique coffees in the world. It mainly grows on the fertile volcanic soils of Mt Ramelau giving the coffee bean a very unique and organic flavor. Besides, the coffee plants grow in unstructured forests and happend to have crossed the two main coffee beans, Arabica and Robusto, resulting in a cross variant called Timor Hybrid Coffee. East Timor's coffee is regularly labeled as one of the best coffees in the world.
In this video, we coincidentally met a coffee farmer deep inside the country of East Timor, who invited us over to drink some coffee with his family. Join us on this heartwarming encounter with Timorese coffee farmers 🎬

Thank you for showing us East Timor. Beautiful drone views, lovely coffee producing family & Easter celebration crowds. What an amazing travel experience!

[@22many77]

Such sweet people, such harsh poverty. Someone said of places like this: the country isn't poor, only the people. Hope it changes and thanks for showing us :)

coffe farmer and his family seem like solid people. wish them the best. hope he can get to oz

Australia is getting stricker in their immigration policy.

[@elinamanansi5508]

Back then when Timor Leste was part of Indonesia, many student from timor leste went to Jakarta and other city to study, unfortunately because of religion and skin colour differences they often face racism. Nonetheless I wish our brother and sister from Timor Leste all the best.

Why because of ethnic group? Aren't there numerous other islands with similar people in Indonesia?

Don't mixed the story before and after or vice versa without clear the chronology based. It's blur like blinded man try to see the skies.

Yah. Wherever you are in the world, be it in Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, the darker you are the lower you are in the hierarchy. It's just the way it is. Thank you.

[@kickingice9407]

Rasis...? loe kira hanya timor doang yg punya kulit hitam papua ada, maluku ada, orang ntt hampir semua ada di Indonesia karena suku perantau, di sulawesi kami ada suku dengan ras melanesia, orang papua banyak sekali di jawa dan tidak rasis disini, di sulawsi orang papua kami panggil saudara. Jangan buat fitnah dengan mengatakan rasis. Kalian sendiri awalnya meminta bergabung dgn Indonesia dan kalian sendiri dihasut barat ingin melepaskan diri, dan terbukti sumber minyak kalian di kelola australia.

Coffee guy is really amazing person. I hope soon he will get his visa and reunite with the family in Australia.

[@miniong360]

That gesture of pressing the back of an elder's hand on a younger person's forehead is also a Filipino custom signifying respect. I'm pleased to discover that it is also a practice in East Timor, a mainly Catholic country like the Philippines.

[@rizaprice4232]

I’m Filipino and I noticed that also, wow that’s Filipino customs I’m glad other country practice it.

[@wisecanadianwoman]

Thanks for taking me places that I would most likely not visit. Enjoyed today's video. Safe travels Flo and Yan!

[@charpkun]

While as a Chinese person living overseas, I appreciate your content from the Mainland, videos such as these show that there are beautiful rural places less travelled all over the world. I admit as a resident of the Philippines, a close neighbor, i barely remember East Timor (aa fact not lost on their people when we hosted them poorly during ASEAN games) and I appreciate your video that showcases a country that sadly I will probably never have a reason to visit as a tourist

[@tedtombling2770]

As a prolific drinker of decaf instant coffee ☕️ I'd be banned from the island. I.remember and admired their fight for independence in the past.😊

East Timorese's very friendly and what a nice trip. By the way, if you guys are back to Indonesia, please consider going to Singkawang, Kalimantan. There you can find many descendants of the miners and traders who came mostly from China many years ago and Singkawang is considered as the Chinese Town.

[@Goodmaolee]

Beautiful scenery, friendly people, sometimes I think, so what if the country is not developed enough? As long as there is peace and stability, it is the greatest contribution to the world! Compared to those developed countries who always want to interfere in other countries' affairs and start wars everywhere, they will only bring disaster to the world!

[@sassclem3190]

What lovely people! Thank you for sharing the beauty of this country!! It's very likely that unfortunately the farmers don't get fairly compensated for their coffee :( Unless you visit the farmers and buy direct, or by fairtrade, it's hard to make sure that everyone in the process of creating a product is paid correctly.

Well my dream show evaporated into normality 😊

Hi Yan, In Australia we call that a Choko (Fo-Shou-Gua) and we peel it, cut it in two then boil it till it is soft and serve it with butter smeared on it. Quite tasty. But I rekon that any Chinese cooks would do something really special with it. Great video as usual, thank you.

Kopi-kopi mereka di beli oleh tengkulak dengan harga sangat murah, Lalu di selundupkan ke Atambua untuk di jadikan kopi kupang dan di jual sangat mahal ke Starbucks di seluruh kota di indonesia, Tahu sendiri kan harga pergelas di Starbucks?
