Papua New Guinea - Jiwaka

This natural processed coffee originates from the Kindeng Dry Mill in the Jiwaka province of Papua New Guinea. It is a blend of cherries sourced from approximately 1,500 smallholder farmers in the Kindeng and Arufa municipalities. Farmers cultivate coffee on plots averaging 1 to 2 hectares with sandy loam and loamy clay soils. The varieties include Typica, Arusha, and Bourbon, grown at altitudes between 1520-1770 meters above sea level. Cherries are dried on raised beds and canvasses, moved multiple times daily over a month-long drying period to ensure consistent moisture levels. The flavor profile includes notes of pomegranate, sugar cane, and grape with vibrant intensity, mouthfeel, and sweetness.
