As a registered Social Enterprise, Wild Timor Coffee supports Timorese communities. The founders were soldiers in the Australian Army, and were deployed to Timor-Leste as peacekeepers. These soldiers developed friendships with the village people and were indignant at their exploitation from coffee brokers, who offered far less than was fair for an excellent product.

Wild Timor Coffee purchase green coffee beans from their Timorese brothers and sisters and offer them a fair price, usually determined by matching and raising the price of other buyers. The coffee is then shipped to Coburg, Melbourne where it is roasted and sold.
