Papua New Guinea Kindeng Natural

This is a Western Highlands province coffee, down in the Jiwaka Province. Six hundred farmers contributed and it was processed at the Kindeng mill.

Natural processed coffees are not normal in Papua New Guinea. You need to roast it lightly and about 20 seconds out of the first cracks (slightly darker than an Ethiopia). It tastes sweet with little bit of cranberry and lavender flavor, as well as some tomato and herbal flavors. A unique and somewhat strange coffee, but not offensive -- just unusual.
