Papua Fullwash Arabica Coffee Beans

Single origin, specialty grade, Fullwash process. Roasted after your order is placed.

WHY THIS COFFEE ARRIVES BY AIR >>

“Sabang to Merauke is about five thousand kilometres, and there is a coffee at each end of it. If you have been working your way east across this shelf, this is where the map runs out. Cocoa, honey, chocolate — quieter than almost everything you passed to get here, and usually the bag that empties first.”

This is the quietest coffee on our shelf. Cocoa nibs, honey, chocolate. No fruit, no flowers, no surprises. Its sweetness is consistent, its body is medium, and its acidity is low, with no sharp edges anywhere. If specialty coffee has always felt a little too loud for you, start here.

Wamena lies in the Baliem Valley, in the central highlands of Papua, and there are no roads connecting it to the outside world. People and goods travel in and out on foot or by plane. That includes the coffee.

This has an interesting side effect: chemical fertilizers and pesticides are hardly used there, not because of certification, but because flying chemicals into a valley inaccessible by car simply makes little sense.

The coffee grows on small plots beneath old-growth forest, at an altitude of 1,400–1,600 meters above sea level. The seedlings were distributed by the government in the early 1980s, and the first harvest did not arrive until 1994.

These Arabica beans are clean because of where they grow, not because of what is written on a certificate.
