papua new guinea coffee · decaf
by podda & wren coffee roasters · kendal, uk
you'll taste caramel before milk chocolate. this is decaf - papua new guinea - paradise mountain - sugarcane process, a washed papua new guinea from podda & wren coffee roasters.
it tastes of caramel, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate, giving it a sweet, rounded profile that holds up well without caffeine. the sugarcane decaf process helps retain these flavours by avoiding harsh chemical treatments.
the coffee is a bourbon varietal grown in the eastern highlands of papua new guinea and processed using the sugarcane method, where ethyl acetate from sugarcane is used to decaffeinate the beans. it is then washed, which contributes to its clean, defined flavour.
it suits filter and espresso brewing, so choose based on whether you want to highlight the lighter caramel sweetness or the deeper chocolate notes. keep your water temperature around 90 to 93 celsius to avoid over-extracting the darker chocolate elements.
the filter coffee here is worth slowing down for. podda & wren sits in elephant yard, one of kendal's quieter pedestrian corners off the main street, and it draws the kind of local loyalty that takes genuine consistency to build. you won't find that level of repeat custom without getting the fundamentals right, cup after cup. the roasting side of the operation matters too: this isn't a cafe that just buys in wholesale and calls it specialty. they're roasters, which means the coffee you're drinking has a closer line back to the source than most places in a town this size. if you're passing through the lake district and kendal is your stop, make it elephant yard. order the filter, take your time with it.
