Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world but also one of the least explored. Most of the population live in isolated communities scattered throughout dense rainforest that cloak a spine of mountains running the length of the country. It is in these highland regions where some of the world’s most beautiful birds are to be found. Called Birds of Paradise the colour, plumage behaviour and song of these birds defies belief. Paradisaea raggiana graces our label and is without doubt a fitting ambassador for this very special coffee.

Description

BlackGold

Grown in ancient forests at high altitude, this Papua New Guinea coffee is as smooth as silk. Each bean releases dark cocoa flavours, as well as a hint of berry.

This high altitude, single origin Arabica is grown in highland forests. Family owned estates grow the original Jamaica Blue Mountain varieties that flourish under the shade of old forests. BlackGold is a beautiful even bean with a rich smooth body. A great brew any which way but a filter, stovetop or espresso will produce a stronger brew.

The Body & Brightness Profiles:

When you first taste a coffee, you should first assess its body or mouth feel and also just how acidic or bright it is. You may like a coffee that has a whole lot of body but with low acidity. Or you may like a mellower mouth feel but a brighter acidity. It really is a personal preference, there is no right or wrong.

BlackGold has good body and a medium brightness.

The Flavour Profiles:

What sets each individual coffee apart will be the flavours or what we call the “tasting notes”. The tasting notes are many and varied ranging from floral to nutty, spicy to berry, chocolaty to citrusy, just to name a few. These flavours make each coffee very different and so special. Where the coffee is grown, climate, elevation soil type and harvesting techniques will all impact on the flavour so unique to each coffee.
