play-ground - filter haul

Welcome to Locale Coffee Roasters…so happy you’re here!

We hope you’re enjoying the goodies you’ve received from Play-Ground. You’re in for a real treat with this box, if we do say so ourselves. This month’s selection features a gorgeous Washed Anaerobic from El Fuerte in Bolivia & a delicious Natural from Baroida Estate in Papua New Guinea. We just know you’re going to love them both.

Happy caffeinating, folks!

el fuerte.

This gorgeous Washed Anaerobic features a crisp green apple acidity, with sugarcane sweetness and a lingering vanilla finish.

For the third year running, we have coffee from Los Rodríguez family. After their success in growing exceptional coffee in the Samaipata region, the Rodríguez family planted three more farms & built a wet mill to process their coffee.

The coffee is carefully handpicked, collecting only the very ripest cherries. Once depulped, it’s fermented in custom-built stainless steel tanks for 48 hrs. The parchment is washed & carefully dried using a ‘guardiola.’ After resting, it’s sent to the family’s state-of-the-art mill for hulling & sorting with machinery first, then meticulously sorted by hand under UV & natural light.

baroida estate.

A delicious Natural with tropical acidity, followed by a chocolate, brown sugar & cherry liqueur finish.

It’s also our third year buying coffees from Baroida Estate, located in the Kainantu District within the Eastern Highlands Province. The estate was founded by Ben Colbran in the 1960’s and has become one of the most notable coffee estates in all of PNG. Ben’s knowledge & experience was passed down to his son, Nicol, who runs the estate today. The Colbran’s also play a huge role in supporting the community, improving local infrastructure like bridges, schools & roads.

Meticulous separation for QC helps maintain the high quality of the coffee. After careful sorting, cherry is laid on raised beds to sun-dry.
