Blind Assessment
Sweet, round aroma with soft notes of nut, milk chocolate and a suggestion of fruit. In the cup full body, smooth mouthfeel, soft acidity, with aromatic notes turning deeper and more intense: dark chocolate, aromatic wood, nut. The dark chocolate turns very slightly bitterish in the long, dry finish.
Notes
Kimel Estate is a large farm founded by Australian expatriates but now owned and operated by local tribal groups who claim traditional ownership of the land. It is located in the Wahgi Valley, near the town of Mount Hagen. The Roasterie is a leading, quality-oriented specialty roaster that emphasizes its commitment to "air roasting," a technology utilizing a column of hot air rather than the conventional turning drum to agitate the roasting beans.
