the kimel is a washed bourbon and typica from the western highlands of papua new guinea, processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and tends to produce a clean, defined cup. the result here leans savoury and earthy, with a mushroom-forward character that sets it apart from brighter, fruit-led coffees. it suits drinkers who prefer grounded, savoury cups over sweet or floral ones. a filter brew, such as a cafetière or pour over, will keep the profile transparent and let those earthy, savoury qualities come through clearly without over-extraction muddying the cup.
