Coffee: Papua New Guinea Kinmuga
Origin: South Waghi Valley, PNG
Process: Natural
Roast Level: Medium
Notes: Pear, persimmon, mango, peach, hibiscus
Background: The Waghi valley is known to have been “the food bowl of PNG” for thousands of years. Surrounded by an extinct volcano, the sandy and loam soils are exceptionally fertile. Moreover, the network coffee plots are all close to the Wara Tuman, a large river running through the valley bringing in its stream nutrients from the highest volcanic mountains. The cherries are sold at the Kindeng wet mill, where they are pulped, fermented, and processed to parchment. The parchment then is brought to the Kagamuga dry mill in Hagen.
Description: This coffee has a vibrant and extremely fruit-forward cup paired with a syrupy body. Look for notes of pear, persimmon, peach, mango, hibiscus, and a hint of cedar and spice. The cup has a pleasant juicy acidity while maintaining approachable caramel undertones.
