A washed peaberry coffee from smallholder farms along the Kuta Ridge in the Waghi Valley highlands of Papua New Guinea. Grown at 1550 meters in black volcanic soil, this lot features peaberries, a natural mutation where only one seed develops inside the coffee cherry, resulting in a smaller, rounder, and denser bean. The varieties include Arusha, Blue Mountain, Bourbon, and Typica. Processing takes place at Kuta Coffee Mill, a collaboration between the Ulga and Kolga tribes. The flavor profile features crisp red apple with subtle earthy nutmeg and rich molasses-like depth.
