Roaster's Choice 011608 Papua New Guinea
Kimel Plantation Peaberry

This is a mid-harvest lot from the Kimel Plantation, one of only two available peaberry lots. Unlike the Organic farms, the plantations contain their own milling stations and are able to better control the cup quality which brings out a remarkable flavor and vibrancy not available in the PNG Organic offerings.




The cup is initially a rounded honey sweetness with malted chocolate and a zesty orange finish. As the cup cools the complexity begins to reveal itself in an array of flavorful spice - cinnamon, sassafras, and sandalwood with black tea aspects lingering in the finish of a slow and satisfying cup.
