Producer: JIMI RIVER TRIBAL ORGANIC
Process: Washed
Tasting Notes: Delicately aromatic, subtly complex, citrusy and sweetly herbaceous. Leading notes of Meyer lemon zest, marjoram, and cashew, supported by a trace of apricot and a hint of spicy lavender.
Farm and Region:
The 703 smallholders in the Jimi River coffee network are among five of the most remote and isolated coffee communities in Papua New Guinea, where it takes a day’s walk to reach the nearest road. Together, they form an organic coffee grower group that focuses on bringing the best practices in social, environmental, and economic standards to their 787 coffee plots. The farms in this network reach high altitudes, and 90% of the coffee is planted in the shade. All of the coffee grown in these plots is hand-picked, pulped, fermented, washed, sun-dried, and stored until they reach sizeable volumes. All coffee is A/AA and X grade, sourced from Blue Mountain, Bourbon, and Typical varieties.
The coffee is grown on the slopes of the Bismarck Range in the tropical rainforest along the Jimi River, which stretches from the foot of PNG’s highest mountain – Mount William.
Ample rainfall, a steadily comfortable climate, and beautiful tall mountain landscapes paint this picturesque region. These features make their way into the coffee beans for full flavor and unique character, with flavors of green tea, dried plum, lemon, and lime in the Tribal Organic lot.
