Papua New Guinea - Kindeng - Natural

This lot comes from the Kindeng Dry Mill in Jiwaka Province, Papua New Guinea, where coffee is sourced in cherry from around 1,500 smallholder farmers in the Kindeng and Arufa municipalities. With farm sizes averaging just 1–2 hectares, producers grow coffee in nutrient-rich soils of sandy loam and loamy clay, contributing to the region’s distinctive cup profile.

At the mill, cherries are carefully processed as naturals and dried on raised beds and canvases for nearly a month. Throughout this time, the coffee is turned several times a day to ensure even drying and balance. Once complete, the lots are hulled, milled, and meticulously prepared for export.

The result is a coffee that is bright, juicy, and candy-like, with a kiwi-like acidity and layers of tropical fruit sweetness.
