Papua New Guinea, green unroasted

New 2023 crop! These wild-grown, triple-picked (only the ripe beans each time) Grade A beans from the Jiwaka Province atop the Waghi Valley are extraordinarily "clean" and have that superb Papua Highlands taste profile we all know and love so well, blended with Typica and balanced for gentle but pleasing acidity, slight hints of toffee, spice, pear and a slight chocolatey finish.

This is an incredibly delicious coffee and one of our favorite Papua crops to date. Flown to port by small airplanes, from the remote PNG highlands!

Please select 1 or 3 pounds. We recommend a city/medium roast level, at about 435 -438°.

Back in stock! But limited supply...

The FDA wants us to remind everybody that green, unroasted coffee beans are not suitable for consumption without first boiling or roasting the beans.

.

The taste is stunning. The varieties collected are Typica, Bourbon and Arusha Arabicas. The bushes grow largely wild and no pesticides are chemicals are used. Exceptionally low-acid, richly aromatic, and full-bodied, with notes of chocolate and fruit. 

All the coffee cherries are pulped, washed, soaked and sun dried to 11 percent moisture content. The coffee is then stored unhusked for transportation to a central processing mill in Goroka, approximately 120 miles away in the Eastern Highlands Province, where it’s hulled for shipment. To preserve quality, the coffee stays in the highlands — where it’s far less humid — and is transported another 200 miles by road to the port city of Lae, only just in time to meet the vessel.

  1. 4 Star Review Smoooth cup of coffee

    I roasted this one to a medium roast, and it tastes beautifully. There was great aroma, and on my siphon, it had a very pleasant, very subtle bit of acidity, and a very smooth texture. There were very few "quakers" to disregard as well, when compared to other beans I've roasted.

  4. 5 Star Review High Quality Beans, Delicious Complexity

    These are very high quality beans. I've never actually seen beans in such amazing shape- they're huge and virtually all the same size. They give you a nice even roast. The profile is quite intense on the cacao side, with a chocolatey sweetness and not very much fruit or 'brightness.' I over roasted it the first few times and didn't like it very much, but then I did a perfect light roast and really tasted the complexity of this wonderful bean.

    I'm sure that blended with an African or a brighter Guatemalan would be quite delicious indeed. Overall very impressed with this supplier, they definitely care about the quality of their product.

The Araku Valley of India

India's coffee tradition goes back 400 years or more, when a variety called Kent was first established in the Southern Hills. Arabicas predominated until the blight of 1870, when growers needed to hybridize to resistant varieties. The resultant strains had genes from Liberica and other unique, resistant species.
