Baroida Estate: PNG

This Natural lot from Baroida Estate in Papua New Guinea is fruit punch in a cup. Pineapple, passionfruit, red grape, cherry and turkish delight – enveloped in a velvety chocolate fudge body.

This is our 5th year buying coffees from Baroida. Founded by Ben Colbran and now run by his son Nichol, Baroida Estate is located in the Eastern Highlands of PNG. The farm sits high in the Lamari river valley, at 1,700-1,850 masl, where ideal conditions and meticulous farming practices yield some of the region’s most exciting lots.

The Colbran family has been cultivating coffee here since the 1960s and continues to lead with a blend of traditional know-how and forward-thinking sustainability. Baroida is one of PNG’s most respected estates – and this lot is a perfect example of why.

Cherries are selectively harvested, laid whole to dry in full‑natural fashion to maximise sweetness and body, delivering a delicious, syrupy espresso‑friendly profile.

We’re also running a Washed lot from the same farm, roasted for filter.
