the kimel from papua new guinea's western highlands is a washed bourbon and typica blend processed through a rto (river-traded organisation) network. washed processing strips the cherry cleanly, letting the bean's natural character come through, which here leans distinctly savoury and mushroom-forward rather than fruity or sweet. it suits drinkers who prefer earthy, umami-driven cups over brighter, acidic profiles. brew it as a filter, keeping water temperature around 92-94°c and a medium-coarse grind to highlight the savoury depth without tipping into bitterness. espresso is possible but the unusual flavour profile rewards slower, more controlled extraction methods.
