Papua New Guinea Purosa, FT/Organic Purosa comes from Papua New Guinea - an island in the Pacific region just north of Australia and with spectacular scenery and culture. The abundant rainfall and rich volcanic soil provide idea growing conditions for coffee. Annual rainfalls make transportation difficult in Papua New Guinea because most of the roads are not sealled with gravel. To help combat this problem, the Co-op adopted organic agricultural techniques and the Fair Trade model that increased the value of their coffee. The concept of organic coffees was first introduced in PNG in 1991. Coffee is the only cash crop for these growers and higher sales will result in better benefits and a brighter future for these families. There are 2,604 farmers registered in the Co-op who live in the 32 villages spread over 500 square kilometers of the valley. Highlands Organic Agriculture Co-operative LTD is made up of 12,000 families who tend their small coffee plots and process beans at their village mill. As demand for their exquisite coffee grows, it is expected that 5,000 more growers will join HOAC over the next two years. The villages are accessed more easily during their peak of harvest, the dry season of June through September. Growers are encouraged to prune their coffee trees at the end of each season to enable more growth and better crops in the following year.

In aroma, I get lots of blueberries and spice; hints of clove and sweetness. In flavor, there are lots of blueberries and papaya notes with orange peel and bright sweet tangerine pulp. I get some vanilla hidden in there too. The body is medium and brightness/acidity is light+. Very nice! Find similar coffees! Design your own blend with this coffee!
