About this Coffee
2025 Papua New Guinea Kongo Estate
The highest grade beans from thousands of coffee gardens scattered across Simbu Province of PNG. The Kongo Estate is a cooperative, educating and ensuring growers in Simbu make a consistently excellent coffee. This batch from 2025 is nutty and full bodied, balanced by a slight citrus aftertaste in the lighter roasts.
Blue Mountain but not from Jamaica. These Blue Mountain beans are from Kongo Estate, Papua New Guinea.
Did you know Blue Mountain is a varietal of coffee and not a place? These beans from in Simbu Provence are the same varietal as their more famous cousins in Jamaica. However, don’t think this as a lesser coffee; Kongo Estate is famous for it’s high quality, delicate balance and body.
Kongo Estate helped to educate the local farmers in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea on the techniques to produce premium coffee. Their efforts have paid off, with the farmers able to command a 20% premium over other more commercial producers, giving them a chance at a livible wage and profit. In exchange Kongo Estate receives only carefully picked, perfectly ripe cherries to wash, process and dry in the sun.

How to Brew It
20g Coffee : 300ml of water
For easier math, we recommend a ratio of 20g of coffee per 300ml of water. If you are doing a drip method, aim for your grinds to be about the size of coarse salt.
Tips
Resting Your Coffee
Right after roasting, coffee needs some time to chill for a minimum of three days. Our roasting cycle ensures that when you receive the beans, it’ll have rested the minimum needed. However, the flavours will continue to improve over a time. How long? Well that depends on the roasting level you ordered.
Tips
Peak Flavor Time
Your coffee will taste best depending on the roast level:
Light: 7-9 days after roast date
Roaster’s Choice: 5-7 days after roast date
Dark: 3-5 days after roast date
But every bean and person is different so please experiment and find what works for you!

No Pre-Ground Beans?
Unfortunately no. The second you grind, you expose your beans to the nemesis of delicious coffee: oxygen. Grinding introduces so much oxygen that your coffee may stale before you receive it.
To ensure you get the best tasting coffee possible, we recommend you to buy a grinder.
