Description
Bourbon and Typica VarietalsWashed Processed - Medium Roast
We roast this coffee to a medium level to allow the warm, familiar flavors of the Papua New Guinea, Sumatra, and Java region develop, while not getting overpowered by a strong roasted flavor. What comes out is a coffee with rich notes of cacao and caramel and a hint of cherry.
Papua New Guinea’s mountainous terrain with amazingly fertile volcanic soil is excellent for growing rich, vibrant Arabica coffee but not very good for transporting it. As a result, many remote villages and smallholder coffee farms are only reachable by foot or light aircraft, which is why air travel is crucial to get things moving. Simbai Balus Kopi (Simbai Airplane Coffee) comes from the Simbai region, just over the Bismarck Range that borders the Western Highlands Province and Sepik Province.
