Derived from Jamaican Blue Mountain lineage. Sweet tropical mango, caramelized dark chocolate, and heavy volcanic body.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) occupies a unique and legendary place in coffee history. In the 1920s, seeds were brought from Jamaica's famous Blue Mountain estates and planted in the fertile volcanic soil of PNG's misty Wahgi Valley. Grown at elevations up to 5,500 feet by tribal smallholder farmers, this coffee combines the ultra-smooth, low-bitterness lineage of Blue Mountain coffee with wild Pacific volcanic complexity: deep baker’s dark cocoa, sweet tropical mango, fresh kiwi, and a rich brown sugar finish with luxurious syrupy body and naturally gentle acidity.
