Welcoming a new espresso from Baroida Estate in Papua New Guinea with a tropical acidity, reminiscent of passionfruit & pomegranate. While the finish is all choc, brown sugar & cherry liqueur.

This is the 3rd year running we’ve sourced coffees from Baroida Estate. Located in the Kainantu District, Eastern Highlands Province, the estate was founded by Ben Colbran in the 60’s when the government encouraged foreign agriculturalists to cultivate land in the highlands. 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 by improving local infrastructure like bridges, schools & roads. The name ‘Baroida’ comes from the Baroida spirit, believed by locals to reside in a large river rock sitting in one of the main rivers flowing through the estate. Colbran Coffeelands has become one of the most notable coffee estates in all of PNG.

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