Description: The Lahamenegu Mill, located in Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands, serves as an essential mill to experiment with uncommon processing methods, and have a firm grasp over quality control. PNG green coffee beans are usually wash-processed, but private ownership of a wet mill has its privileges. It means natural (or dry) processed PNG green coffees like this can be made!
We roasted this coffee lighter to highlight the complexity and luxurious mouthfeel. This cup opens with an intense nose and tasting notes of tropical fruits. Soon after, you pick up on notes of orange and sugar cane sweetness. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth and silky, with a light medium body. It finishes sweet and dense, with a prevalent note of chocolate, alongside the lingering sweetness that settles through and sticks like fruit puree.
Shelf Life: An unopened bag will remain tasty for five months due to our processes and packaging. We remove most of the oxygen from each bag during our packaging process and replace it with food-grade nitrogen to lovingly cradle these precious beans for a long time. We use the highest quality bags with one-way valves to retain the low-oxygen environment we create and allow our coffee to off-gas naturally.
