Coffees from Papua New Guinea are washed and sometimes have very subtle tropical notes, not at all like earthy wet-hulled coffees from Sumatra.
This is a washed A/X grade coffee comprised of harvests from multiple small plantations on the Kuta Ridge in the Waghi valley of Papua New Guinea's Western Highlands. Growing altitude is around 1,585 meters and milling takes place at the Kuta Coffee Mill. Operating alongside a collaboration between traditional rivals, the Ulga and Kolga tribes, Kuta Mill pays bonuses to farmers who deliver quality cherries consistently.
