Highland municipality of Timor-Leste where smallholders grow shade-grown arabica.
Ermera is a highland municipality where arabica is grown at roughly 1,200 to 1,800 m, together with neighbouring Aileu, mostly by smallholders. A local guide puts the start of its coffee belt at about 900 m and names Letefoho and Atsabe as the main growing areas, with Gleno as the capital.
