Process: Washed 
Notes: Orange, Plum, Apple Crumble

It's been a spring/summer of firsts for Root & Branch so far in 2025! That theme continues in July, with the release of our first ever coffee from Papa New Guinea.

Arkua is produced by local farm holders, primarily from the Tairora-Gadsup, Yellia and Lamari local-level government groups near Obura-Wonenara in PNG's Eastern Highlands. This remote & mountainous area ranges in altitude between 1,700 and 2,000masl and is known for its cool temperatures which allows for a longer cherry maturation on the tree, which typically translates to the development of more complex flavour compounds in the final cup.

Coffee from this region typically exhibit the heavy body characteristic along with the savoury sweet flavours. Coffee from PNG is graded using a unique matrix that reflects not only screen size but bean shape, defect count, and colour in addition to aroma and cup quality with A/X, being the highest quality available.

These qualities are reflected in Arkua, with sweet flavours of orange, plum and apple crumble balanced with great body and the clarity of really good washed coffee. We're big fans and we hope you will be too!
