The Autumn Single Origin - Papua New Guinea
The Autumn Single Origin — Papua New Guinea Coffee Beans
Fresh roasted Papua New Guinea single origin coffee, sourced from village smallholder farms across the Western and Eastern Highlands. Grown at altitudes up to 1,600m and fully washed, this seasonal release is our pick for autumn — a naturally sweet, fruity cup with notes of rhubarb crumble and vanilla custard.
Tasting Notes
Gentle body, mild acidity, and a naturally sweet, fruity character reminiscent of rhubarb crumble with a vanilla custard topping — a comforting, warming cup for the colder months. Works well as filter, drip, or cafetière coffee.
Why This Coffee, Why Now
This Typica variety, washed Arabica coffee comes from Kongo Coffee Ltd, grown by smallholder farmers moving from the Highlands down toward the lower altitudes of Lae and Popondetta. It's traditionally known as an excellent base for blending thanks to its bodied, fruity character — but on its own, medium roasted, it makes a genuinely distinctive single origin.
