PAPUA NEW GUINEA KENTA - Green Coffee Beans

Papua New Guinea Kenta Green Coffee Beans provide a unique opportunity for home roasters to explore the distinct and diverse flavours of the Eastern Highlands. Known for its clean, consistent cup with a smooth body and a pleasant aftertaste, these beans offer a great base for experimenting with different roast profiles. 

Origin and Growing Conditions

Grown in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, particularly around the town of Goroka, these beans are cultivated at altitudes of approximately 1,600 meters above sea level. The region's high altitude, combined with its rich volcanic soil, abundant rainfall, and cool climate, provides ideal conditions for producing high-quality Arabica coffee. Unlike other coffee-growing regions, Papua New Guinea's coffee is often grown in small, family-owned "coffee gardens," allowing for more care and attention in cultivation.

Processing Method and Quality Control

These green beans are processed using the washed method. After the cherries are handpicked by local farmers, they are pulped on the same day and fermented in cement vats for 36 hours. Following fermentation, the beans are washed with fresh mountain water from the Tua River. The beans are then sun-dried for 7-12 days, which gives them a distinctive bluish colour that indicates their high quality. 

Potential Flavour Notes and Characteristics

When roasted, Papua New Guinea Kenta beans are known for their smooth body and balanced flavour profile. Expect notes of berry, cedar, malt, and tea-like qualities, creating a complex and layered coffee experience. The cup is clean with a bright and moderate acidity, complemented by a pleasant and consistent aftertaste. These beans are versatile and can be roasted to various levels, from light to dark, allowing home roasters to explore different flavour profiles.
