Papua New Guinea Baroida Estate Washed

Grown in the highlands of Papua New Guinea, this washed coffee comes to us from the Colbran family's Baroida estate. The Colbrans are well known for their high quality coffee and traditional, yet innovative cultivation and processing methods. Their knowledge and care result in a wonderfully balanced and mildly earthy cup with notes of lemongrass, caramel, and a mellow tangerine sweetness.

Sourced from the highlands of Papua New Guinea, this lot from the Colbran family represents the meticulous work of the Baroida Estate. As a washed coffee, it undergoes a processing method that typically emphasizes the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean, allowing the specific terroir of the region to shine through. Roasted by Red Rooster Coffee Roaster, this selection highlights a nuanced profile defined by lemongrass, caramel, and a mellow tangerine sweetness.

When evaluating such distinct profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between citrus-forward notes and deeper, sugar-browning characteristics. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, bright finish, the specific output of the Baroida Estate offers a balanced cup that bridges the gap between vibrant fruit acidity and comforting, dessert-like sweetness. This coffee serves as an excellent example of the high-quality production currently emerging from the unique growing conditions of the Papua New Guinean highlands.
