Papua New Guinea Peaberry - This washed peaberry coffee comes from Korgua Estate, a farm located in the western highlands of Papua New Guinea. This is a delicate spring sipper, offering your pallet sweet tasting notes of peach, orange, hazelnut, and cocoa. Enjoy it by the pool, or stay awhile and sip it by the fire place... either way you will be satisfied. Korgua Estate sits at about 1400 meters above sea level and is planted mostly in older Bourbon and Typica cultivars. It's a wet processed coffee, meaning the coffee cherry and much of the fruit are stripped from the seed using depulping machinery.

Mexico Chiapas - The Concordia region is renowned for producing excellent coffee due to its agroclimatic conditions of the area – altitude, soils, biodiversity, and most importantly, the people, who through effort and care produce the “Oro Verde”. The results are encouraging -- with the 465 growers (24% women) and 1,171 hectares of coffee plantings covered by the project, we saw four times less water compared with traditional pulping methods.

The small farmers in this region have an advantage during the harvest season, as the weather is cold with little rain which leads to extended fermentation periods (12-17 hours), and longer drying periods where the coffee can be sun dried in their yards or on their zarandas. All these factors combined improves the cup quality of the region, where conservation of environment and sustainable coexistence between coffee producing activities and the flora and fauna surrounding them is most important.

Guatemala Honey - In the Joyabaj Wet Mill, the process begins with the washing of the cherry coffee, followed by a selection process that eliminates floating coffee beans. The next step is the fermentation of the coffee with the husk, which takes an average of 18 hours, followed by the pulping process and then the drying process in a solar dryer with African beds. The realization of this process takes approximately 6 days of drying, and manual movements are made so that the drying process is achieved uniformly.
