Papua New Guinea Kongo
A velvety, full-bodied cup that combines the richness of dark cocoa with the winey acidity of stone fruit.
Price range: $2.60 through $21.00
Sourced from the rugged highlands of the Simbu Province, this coffee defies the rustic earthiness often associated with the region. Meticulously washed and sun-dried by the Kongo Coffee mill, the beans deliver a surprisingly clean profile that layers deep, savory chocolate notes over a vibrant, wine-like fruit acidity. The volcanic soil of the Elimbari mountains imparts a creamy mouthfeel and a lingering, sweet-spiced finish.
