The Story

Grown in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, coffees from Lahamenegu Mill are known for their structure and depth. This region’s rugged terrain, high elevation, and smallholder farming traditions contribute to coffees that feel both wild and refined.

At the mill, careful washed processing paired with fan drying ensures a controlled, even drying environment—preserving clarity while maintaining the coffee’s inherent richness and body.

Process

Washed & Fan Dried
After depulping and fermentation, the coffee is washed clean and dried using controlled airflow. This approach creates:

• Balanced sweetness and structure
• Clean yet full-bodied mouthfeel
• Enhanced stability and consistency

Brew Recommendations

This coffee thrives when you lean into its body and layered sweetness:

For Depth & Chocolate:

• Hybrid Immersion like a Hario Switch Immersion Pour-Over or Clever Dripper
• French Press
• Full immersion to emphasize richness

For Balance & Structure:

• Pour Over (Kalita, V60)
• Slightly coarser grind to keep clarity while preserving body

For Bold Expression:

• Espresso
• Highlights chocolate intensity and dark fruit

Ecstatic Expression Tip

If you want more of that plum and prune character, push extraction slightly—longer contact time or a finer grind. For a cleaner, honey-forward cup, ease back and go a touch coarser.

Why We Love It

This is a grounding coffee—steady, rich, and deeply satisfying. It carries a natural sweetness that feels comforting, with just enough dark fruit intrigue to keep you leaning in for another sip.
