Papua New Guinea PNG Baroida Plt A/X
Di Bartoli is now offering a coffee bean that's graded an 85+ cupping score. The Papua New Guinea (PNG) Baroida Plt A/X is a complex and flavourful bean that has captured our hearts and taste pallettes. We invite you to give this excellent coffee a go brewing in your home barista setup.
The founder of Baroida Estate was Ben Colbran, a name synonymous with PNG coffee. Starting in the 1960’s, it took Ben some years growing fruit and vegetables before he was able to start growing coffee on over 240 hectares. Ben sold the farm in 1979 though his son Nichol remaining on the farm working for the new owners. In 1997, Nichol bought the farm and the family tradition continued; producing high grade coffees and moving into speciality grades. Nichol also works with other small holder coffee growers, assisting with processing and showcasing their coffees.
Di Bartoli recommends doing this coffee justice by brewing either as a pourover filter (using 15g water at 92-94 degrees for every 1g medium ground coffee) or espresso (18-20g dry coffee in, approx 40-45mL espresso out at 92-94 degrees). While we advise that this coffee is best appreciated without milk or sugar as these additives mask some of the more subtle flavours, this coffee works alright with milk and if that's how you drink your coffee.
