“BLACK CROW WHITE PIGEON”. EXTRAORDINARY COFFEE STORIES.
Chapter 9
The Black Crow presents:
What’s this extraordinary aroma? It smells like a cup of black tea with a spoonful of honey and a couple of gingerbread cookies served alongside it. Delicate and delightfully sweet…
Flying high over the gorgeous Waghi Valley in Papua New Guinea, one can see miles of coffee plantations stretching ahead. The coffee plants are shaded lovingly by numerous different trees that help the cherries reach a consistent degree of ripeness, all while providing home for over ninety exotic bird species. Coffee cherries are picked exclusively by hand over here and only once they have ripened fully, which endows the resulting brew with the perfect balance of sugariness and acidity. Processed using the washed method, the coffee is then allowed to dry naturally out in the warm Guinean sun.

This coffee is roasted by our partners in Lithuania, in one of the finest local roasteries.
These coffee beans are suited well for all brewing methods, be it espresso, filter, or infusing straight in a cup.
Specialty coffee includes only the world’s best-rated varieties. Who rates it and how do they do that, you wonder? Well, the rating is in the hands of certified coffee tasters. They evaluate the quality of the coffee they’re presented with based on the scale created by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Four criteria are assessed: origin, the appearance of green beans, the aroma of the prepared brew, and its flavour characteristics. Only coffees that end up scoring somewhere between 80 and 100 points can be rightfully referred to as “specialty”.
When using the washed process, beans are first separated from the cherries, then fermented and dried. Coffee processed in this manner acquires a particularly “clean” taste, which makes the dominant notes easier to identify. It’s often fruitier too.
These are arabica beans of the Caturra subspecies. They originate from Papua New Guinea.
