Papua New Guinea Madan Estate AA - 500g

Back in!!
Another current favourite (swear we say that about loads of our coffees)! Roasted at a medium this is surprisingly bright for a coffee from PNG, but a really sweet and balanced acidity that gets overwhelmed quickly by a deliciously rich body. There are notes of dried stone fruits, raisins and a honey-like finish. Top draw, easy drinker that is the coffee we're taking home with us at the moment.

In 1964, John Coleman visited Papua New Guinea and fell in love with the Waghi Valley. He applied for an Agricultural Lease via the PNG government and was granted a portion of land that would become Madan Estate. The name refers to a small hill located within the farmland. After purchasing the land, Coleman went to work and drained the land and built roads to pave the way for coffee production. During this hand-construction, various archaeological relics were found and preserved. This is a historical farm, and thanks to the work of its founders, these artefacts were saved from natural decay.

This is a fully washed coffee using a mix of Arusha, Bourbon, Catimor & Typica varietals. The Madan Estate is situated in the Jiwaka Province, near the town of Mt. Hagen in the Waghi Valley. The farm sits at ~1,600m.a.s.l. and is a beautiful example of specialty coffee & the best of Papua New Guinea's coffee offerings. 

Native shade trees were planted and managed to promote biodiversity throughout the farm. Chemicals became prohibited and more natural methods were utilized to fight pests and help with soil fertility. Additionally, waste management prevents any harmful wastes from coffee processing to pollute the surrounding ecosystems. This has allowed the thriving of species such as tree kangaroos (Kapuls) to maintain healthy lifestyles amongst the coffee trees.
