Papua New Guinea: Chimbu Scr.15, Chuave District

In the highlands of Chimbu, Chuave District, smallholders cultivate Bourbon and Typica hybrid trees at 1,500–1,850 masl, delivering ripe cherries to local wet mills for washed processing. SCR. 15 designates a large, even screen size, supporting clean, consistent dark roasting. At this depth, the cup centers on dark chocolate and molasses, with caramelized sugar, roasted almond, and a gentle spice note through the mid-palate. Acidity sits very low and smoothly integrated, while the body is heavy and coating. The finish is long, sweet, and tidy with cocoa-nut persistence—a robust, comforting profile true to PNG’s highland tradition.
