Bean

Grown in the western highlands of Papua New Guinea amongst lush mountains of coffee and tea farms, the Arusha bean is an exotic sub-variety. The Arusha bean specifically, is grown in Tanzania and Papua New Guinea. This sub-variety of Bourbon (Arabica family) originates from the Arusha region of Tanzania. Both its birthplace and Papua New Guinea offer similar growing conditions on lush highlands with plentiful rainfall. 

The Arusha bean is known for its inherent sweetness that is balanced with earthy notes and bright acidity. Commonly the tasting notes are a sweet fruit, like a strawberry, combined with sultry notes like wine fruits. 

Our Arusha bean comes from a series of smallholders in the Jikawa Province in Papua New Guinea's Western Highland region.
