This is an Indonesian coffee without the earthy character found in Sumatra and Celebes. Papua New Guinea possesses a surprisingly clean profile. Its straightforward spice and subtle fruit are reminiscent of Yemen coffees with a medium body and clean finish to define the overall impression. Along the way you experience delicate acidity and soft citrus undertones. A definite straight-laced and graceful coffee among a region of rather rebellious coffees. Our Papua New Guinea coffees are harvested from native Arabica plants originating from Ethiopia and brought to the island by Kenyans. The plants thrived in the volcanic soil and abundant moisture of New Guinea's high tropic forests, creating a brilliant marriage of flavor! The Kimel Estate comes from New Guinea's West Highlands, in a cloud forest, with altitudes of over a mile high. The farm grows heirloom Arabica coffees under a shade canopy of native trees.
