Blind Assessment

Sweet, floral, clean. Lavender and plum flower, honey, cherry, candied pecan in aroma and cup. Lightly bright and juicy acidity, creamy mouthfeel. The plum-blossom note in particular lingers in a sweet and persistent finish.

Notes

The high mountain valleys of central Papua New Guinea offer some of the world’s most favorable terroirs for production of fine coffee. When these coffees are carefully prepared by the traditional wet or washed method, as is the case with this coffee, they can compete with the worlds finest. Flight Coffee Co.
