What First Fruits say
.
Papua New Guinea Nebilyer
Washed Process
Grown in the rugged highlands of Papua New Guinea, our Nebilyer Valley lot delivers a bold yet beautifully structured cup that reflects the untamed landscape it comes from.
Sourced from smallholder farmers in the Western Highlands, this washed lot benefits from high elevation, rich volcanic soil, and slow cherry maturation. The result is a clean and vibrant coffee with depth, sweetness, and a distinctive PNG character.
🍫 Dark chocolate🍊 Dried orange🍇 Red berries🌰 Roasted hazelnut
Expect a structured acidity, syrupy body, and a long, cocoa-driven finish.

How we roast
Over a lengthy 3-year process, we designed and perfected a new way to roast coffee. We fully develop the coffee while keeping the roast before first crack. The chemical reactions that normally occur later in the roast cycle, we have been able to stimulate earlier while keeping the roast prolife very light.
This coffee will age incredibly well and we have age tested coffee up to 2 years old with exceptional results. We have a passion for coffee and love sharing it with you.
