Papua New Guinea Arokara Grade A

Getting coffee out of Papua New Guinea is always a challenge, due to the political stability and geography of the region. Access to the coffee this year was further complicated due to the collapse of a bridge that serviced many of the better coffee growing areas. This coffee was processed by the Arokara estate located in the Eastern Highlands province. Grown at an altitude between 5100 and 6900 feet. The coffee is fully washed and sun-dried and graded AA, hard bean 17+ screen size. A blend of the Typica and Bourbon varietals, creating a wonderful flavor profile. With a sweet low-toned acidity, a full and balanced body, and a nice buttery mouth-feel.

Target a full city roast, right at second crack. Look for caramel and floral overtones and a slight cocoa finish.
