This is the most exciting coffee we have purchased so far, the coffee taste like pineapple straight up to the cup. Unfortunately we cant roast this coffee darker for espresso, but yes you can go ahead to grind for espresso, flow rate will be little faster. Amazing coffee you can find only here with us.
Only 2 kg is available.
History:
For this microlot, cherries were strictly picked with the same level of ripeness, exposed to a dry anerobic fermentation of 48 hours with tangerine skin, and later shadow-dried in parabolic beds mixed with tangerine skin to ideal moisture content.
Baroida Estate is located in the Kainantu District, Eastern Highlands Province. The estate was founded by Ben Colbran in the 1960’s when the Government encouraged foreign agriculturalists to begin cultivating land throughout the highlands. Ben first purchased the land from a native man named Taro and was amongst the first farmer to cultivate coffee in these valleys. Today, Ben’s son Nicol runs the plantation.
The Baroida plantation sits at the apex of the Lamari river valley and Mount Jabarra range. The plantation itself sits at about 1,691 meters above sea level amongst thousands of hectares of cleared land with former colonial coffee estates surrounding them (now run by native landowners) and flanked by mountains filled with small holder coffee producers who cultivate close to a million trees.
