FROM THE COFFEE COLLECTION
Our most celebrated single origin coffees from every growing region
around the globe.
FROM THE COFFEE COLLECTION
This fully washed coffee is processed through the “Bebes” washing station in the Obura Wononara district. The station is owned by Sero Bebes, hence the name. In addition to buying cherry from
the surrounding areas that are processed in the mill, Mr. Bebes also owns a 34 hectare plantation of his own. He has been managing the washing station since 2010. The grading system in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is based on screen or bean size with the A being a 17/18, X being 15/16, and Y being smaller than a 15. This particular coffee is an A/X meaning you will find beans that range in size from 15-18. This range in size in this instance translates to a dynamic range of flavor. The coffee is a blend of the Arusha, Typica, and Bourbon cultivars, Arusha being a variety unique to PNG.
Coffee in PNG can be very difficult to produce year after year, some years seems to
produce amazing quality while others are average at best. No doubt there is potential to produce some of the finest coffees in the world and we are always looking for a gem. With this “Bebes” I do believe we have found one.
PRODUCTION NOTES
The cup profile is incredibly sweet with jasmine aromatics and a delicate raspberry-like acidity. Hibiscus, passion fruit, and mango are some other descriptors that have been said around the cupping table. The coffee is medium bodied and can easily be consumed all day long. Enjoy!
