Description
In the Wahgi Valley, in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea, are three farms owned and managed by the same people. These cherries were grown on the Bunum Wo estate at 1550-1600 masl. Our importing partners are the only ones using the Kula processing method. The Kula processing method is comprised of raised-bed drying, two rounds of color sorting, and two rounds of hand sorting. This results in a total of six stages of sorting after the parchment has been dried. This process includes destoning, screen size grading, desometric sorting, double color sorting, and finally double hand sorting. Floaters are also sorted out in two different stages of the wet process. This level of rigorous sorting results in a clean and crisp cup!
Flavor notes: Sweet milk chocolate, strawberry rhubarb, and lemon, with a complex syrupy body and lush mouthfeel.
