The Story Behind Grade 1 Washed Organic

Papua New Guinean Eastern Highlands Gr B-15 Green Coffee Beans from Mercon Specialty

Grown in the high elevations of Peru, this coffee reflects the care and resilience of smallholder producers who cultivate organic coffee across the country’s mountain regions. In these remote landscapes, coffee is often grown on family farms where rich soils, cool temperatures, and careful harvest practices help shape a clean and expressive cup.

After harvest, ripe cherries are hand selected and processed using the washed method, a traditional approach that highlights clarity, balance, and sweetness. The coffee is pulped, fermented, washed, and dried with attention to detail, allowing the natural character of the bean to come forward with a polished, refined profile.

As a Grade 1 Organic coffee, this lot represents a commitment to quality from farm to export. The result is a dependable and versatile Peruvian coffee with the clean structure roasters look for in washed organic offerings, well suited for both single origin programs and thoughtful blends.
