About this coffee

Country: Papua New Guinea Region: Eastern Highlands Province Farm: small farmers Altitude: 1550 m a.s.l. Processing: Natural Variety : Typica, Bourbon Cupping score: 86 / 100 ABOUT THE COFFEE When thinking about coffees from this region, you usually file them under herbal notes, light spiciness, low acidity, and a certain heaviness in the cup. Here, however, you are faced with a profile that is quite a surprise. Plantations and processing stations in Papua have learned to unlock the potential hidden in their beans by using natural processing and anaerobic fermentation methods. When roasted appropriately, these coffees surprise with vibrant acidity and an intriguing combination of flavors derived from controlled fermentation processes, layered over the region’s characteristic herbal-spice base. We spent a moment thinking about how to describe this flavor profile and settled on three simple words: carrot, apple, papaya. The perceived sweetness reminded us of carrot, the acidity of a green, tart Granny Smith apple, and the intense aftertaste, with subtle fermentation associations, brought to mind tropical fruits.
