Just a quick little post about this little gem i tried the other day at the Coffee Barun . This robusta from PNG (i'm unsure of the exact region but feel free to ask/comment if you're really interested and I'll find out) shows suprisingly clean flavours and poises itself as a great alternative from the monsooned malabar we're all used to.
I'm not usually a big fan of robusta's (in any percentage) though they do have their place, and by no means does this change my oppinion greatly (perhapse widens it slightly though). However i was suprised by the slight sweetness and defined acidity this brought in the cup. Initially I was even getting some soft berry notes with a lingering cocao finnish though this was all but lost as the coffee aged just a few days.
So added to a blend fresh off the roast, it can bring a fantastic touch to an already great blend of coffee, and certainly boost it's profile through milk, but without the harsh or very abrupt flavours that can exist within this varietal.
Another greatly suprising coffee.
