Tribal Aromas Papua New Guinea
Sweet and Creamy
This Papua-New Guinea is grown by the members of Tribal Aromas, a collective of small grower groups in the Chimbu Province, in the Eastern Highlands, a very remote region. The region is almost entirely roadless, and so remote that the coffee must be taken out by airplane, costing the farmers about fifty cents per pound. The coffee is cultivated on small clusters of plots, ranging from .5 to 1 hectare per farmer. Coffee is the only source of cash income for the growers as all other land is used to grow food crops for family consumption. All coffee is shade grown and certified by Australia Certified Organic, accredited by USDA and IFOAM.

Flavor Notes: Banana cream pie! With whipped cream! Loaded with ultra sweet and creamy tropical and stone fruits. Papya, plaintain, peaches, cherimoya fruit salad. A round and sensual mouthfeel with liquid acidity and crystal clarity. Astoundingly juicy and clean. Awesome aromas of sweet fruit and flowers. Hints of raw sugar and caramelized pears in the finish. SWEET as LOVE. It’ll make you wanna get naked and dance around a fire.
