Papua New Guinea Arufa

CUPPING NOTES FROM OUR HEAD ROASTER

High in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, where mist settles over volcanic ridges and ancient forest, the Arufa farm produces something worth slowing down for. This blend of Arusha, Bourbon and Blue Mountain varieties that are grown between 1520 and 1770m, this natural process coffee carries the full richness of its landscape. The cup opens with the soft, layered complexity of oolong tea before giving way to creamy white chocolate and a sun-ripened apricot sweetness that lingers. Rich but never heavy, it rewards your full attention.

ORIGIN

Farm: Arufa Region: Western Highlands Process: Natural Variety: Arusha, Bourbon, Blue Mountain Elevation: 1520- 1770 MASL

From the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, this natural-processed coffee from producer Arufa showcases a blend of Arusha, Bourbon, and Blue Mountain varietals grown at 1520–1770 masl. Natural processing typically allows extended fruit contact with the bean, and this lot's profile—oolong tea, white chocolate, sun-ripened apricot—reflects that approach. The tea-like clarity paired with stone fruit and subtle cocoa notes suggests a balanced extraction of the fruit's complexity without overwhelming body. Press Coffee Roasters has brought out restraint in the finish, letting the origin's inherent sweetness and dried-fruit character emerge. This is a coffee that rewards exploration across brew temperatures and methods.
