Papua New Guinea Korofeigu

Korofeigu is an organic co-op up in the Eastern Highlands with about 100 members. Combined, they harvest about 500 bags of coffee a year. It is pulped on the day of picking. 

The flavor in this coffee is more nutty and less fruity than some coffees from this region. These beans are not sorted by size, which I don't necessarily see as a bad thing because the final roast results in slight unevenness which produces a nice depth and range of flavors. The savory hickory with nutty notes and slight herbal notes keep you intrigued as you're sipping the whole pot away before you know it. It is most interesting as a light coffee, but I prefer it as a dark roast. Darker roasts are less "juicy" and more straightforward, but have good mouthfeel and sweetness without the unusual savory notes.
