Papua New Guinea Mile High A Eastern Highlands Papua New Guinea: Mile High A, Eastern Highlands

We actually once lived a few miles from Kainantu and can verify that the people there are not using chemicals on their crops. They use pipia la cokaruk (chicken poop) for fertilizer. This is great coffee and we are grateful we can order it here!

This is a fan favorite when I give as a gift for the coffee drinkers who like light- medium. I have ordered it twice now.

Rosted to city+ using iron skillet, was slightly high on heat but not too much of an issue. Coffee came out great, tried it with V60, French press, and espresso. The V60 was by far the best in terms of flavour and body balance. Beautiful medium body like a french press but tasty acidity and clear mouthfeel of a V60. I can clearly taste the citrus and malt/caramel notes.

Picked up a half lb. bag with my new Gene Cafe order that also came with a half lb. bag. Tried for a light roast and it was horrible. Had a very organic, mulch type taste. I assumed that I had pulled it early and wrote it off as a learning experience. Tried a dark roast for the other bag a couple of weeks (and several roast) later. Preheated container, ramped up to 470 and then back to 450 at first crack. Started cool down at 3 minutes after 1st crack. The green beans had an off smell and after the roast, they never achieved a roasted bean aroma. Taste was off on this one also. Not as bad as the first batch but not worth drinking. Have tried 5 different beans in the roaster ranging from light to dark roast. This is the only bean that I have struggled with so far. Which was disappointing since I normally like PNG beans.

It lived up to your description thank you.

Has a good clean taste lite tasting
