Full City + roast (dark). Medium to full body and low acidity. A sophisticated and complete cup. It's lively yet has the densely creamy body of a great Indonesian. Sweet, smooth and well balanced. Let flavor notes of ripe plum and apricot, caramelized pumpkin and rich milk chocolate wash over your palette finishing with a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. With a medium to dark roast it's a cup that's hard to ignore. Most often, because of insufficient road conditions, coffee farmers haul the cherries out on their backs and bring them to the mill where they are processed for export. Farm sizes range from one to two acre plots to large plantations. The Kimel mill sources some of the cleanest coffee in all of Papua New Guinea.

*Peaberry coffee by its very nature is rare as only 5% of all coffee beans harvested are in the peaberry form. Since only one bean rather than two are formed in the coffee cherry, peaberry coffee beans tend to have a more robust and pleasing flavor profile.
