Bright natural from Papua New Guinea with baker's chocolate vibes!
This coffee comes from the Kindeng Dry Mill in the Jikawa province in the Waghi Valley in the Western Highlands. The region's mountainous terrain, fertile soil, and regular rainfall make it ideal for coffee cultivation. For this coffee, farmers hand-pick the ripest cherries and take them to the mill, where they are hand-sorted and dried on raised beds for 3-4 weeks. They are rotated several times daily to ensure uniform moisture content. Then, they are placed into bags and stored in a cool space to stabilize before they are hulled, milled, and prepped for export. The result is a complex and crushable coffee with maraschino cherry, plum, brown sugar, and baker's chocolate flavors.
We allow fresh coffee to rest before drinking it. This give the volatility of the roast time to subside, and the sweetness and character comes alive and shines. We rest washed coffees for 5–10 days, natural coffee for 10–15 days, and experimental processed lots for 15–30 days to reach their maximum potential.
