Descripción

Papua New Guinea coffees are known for their complex acidity and bountiful variety due to cultural and topographical diversity. This specific Arokara AA hails from the Arokara Cooperative, a partner of plantations in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. The coffee’s cherry is hand-picked by the clan, immediately pulped, and fermented in cement vats for three days. Then, the coffee is washed with the Aru River’s water and sun-dried for seven to twelve days.

Origin Story: The Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea provide ideal conditions for coffee cultivation, with its rich volcanic soils and unique climate. The Arokara Cooperative is committed to chemical-free production processes and sustainable farming practices, ensuring a high-quality and environmentally friendly product.

  • Dark Roast: Revel in the deep and bold flavors with a rich body, where the chocolate and plum notes are pronounced, offering a robust and satisfying finish.

  • Espresso

    Espresso requires the finest grind, almost like powdered sugar. This method uses high pressure to force hot water through the finely ground coffee, resulting in a concentrated shot of coffee.

  • Single Use Pod

    A medium grind is needed for this method. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, contained in a Single Use Pod.

  • Drip Coffee

    This method requires a medium grind, similar in texture to sea salt. The coffee is brewed by dripping hot water over the grounds, which are contained in a filter.

  • Pour Over

    Pour over, like V60 or Chemex, calls for a medium-coarse grind. This method involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter and letting the coffee drip into a vessel below.

  • French Press

    A coarse grind is best for French Press. This brewing method involves steeping coffee grounds in hot water for several minutes before pressing down a plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee.

  • Cold Brew

    Cold brew requires the coarsest grind, similar to breadcrumbs. It involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, usually 12 hours or more, to produce a smooth, rich coffee concentrate.
