TN Barrels Coffee Papua New Guinea

Description

Papua New Guinea is a single-origin lot finished in reclaimed whiskey barrels and hand-roasted to preserve sweetness and highlight delicate fruit character. We age select green beans to pick up subtle oak and baking-spice notes, then roast to a medium-dark profile that balances clarity with weight. Expect a rounded, flavorful cup with brown sugar sweetness, a soft spicy warmth, and a dried-plum finish. Packaged in an 11 oz tin to protect freshness and showcase our small-batch barrel technique. Versatile for espresso, milk drinks, and bold manual brews.

Recommended brew methods and grind

Brewing tips
• Water temperature: 92 to 96°C (195 to 205°F).
• Let the coffee rest 48 to 72 hours after roasting for optimal development.
• For filter brew, slightly increase the dose to emphasize sweetness and body.
• For milk drinks, use a slightly darker extraction to bring forward caramel and barrel notes.

Storage and freshness
