sweetness and intense boozy acidity
This coffee comes to us from the Kindeng Dry Mill, located in the Jikawa province
of Papua New Guinea. It is a blend of coffee purchased in cherry from about 1500
multiple smallholders located in the Kindeng and Arufa municipalities. The average
farm size of producers in this area is about 1-2 hectares, and the soil is generally
sandy loam and loamy clay. After cherries are received at the mill, they are
processed accordingly and dried on raised beds and canvasses. They are moved
multiple times a day throughout the average 1-month drying process to ensure an
even and uniform average moisture content across the lot. Once the coffee is
adequately dried, it is placed into bags, stored in a cool and dry warehouse, hulled,
milled, and prepped for export.
Naturally-processed coffees from Papua New Guinea are quite rare, but we have been happily sourcing them since the early2020's. When it comes to this process, only the ripest cherries are used as the amount of time necessary to dry and cure these coffees fully is extensive. After cherries are harvested, they are hand sorted and placed on raised beds for an average period of 3-4 weeks until fully dried. During this time, the cherries are moved by hand on a regular basis to ensure an even moisture content throughout the lot.

Brew as you like, but our roasting team suggests:
The French Press method is perfect for bringing out the heavy body, fruity acidity, and nuanced flavors of chamomile, praline, and earth tones in this Papua New Guinea coffee. Its full immersion brew allows the rich complexity of the coffee to fully develop, resulting in a flavorful and satisfyingly rich cup.
