Step 5
Taste it
Most of the time it will be right first try. Sometimes it will need adjustment.All you need to decide is:- Is it too sour, like lemon. In this case you need to extract more.
- Is OK, you dont need to change anything. Some refer to this as the sweet spot, but coffee doesnt actually contain sugar so think of this as the calm between too sour and too bitter.
- Is it too bitter. All coffee is bitter to some extent but you can reduce the bitterness by extracting less.

Coffee Reference: Papua New Guinea
Region:
Waghi Valley, Western Highlands
Altitude: 1400-1800
Process: Washed
Notes:
A beautiful estate grown coffee of the highest grade. Rich dark chocolate, tangy fruits, and a silky smooth finish. Ulya is a full-bodied, delicious coffee that will leave you feeling refined & elegant.
The Ulya Mill is located in the heart of Waghi Valley and is owned and operated by Monpi Coffee Exports. The original Ulya Plantation is located immediately next to the mill and is still privately owned. Occupying over 200ha , it’s still going strong and supplies a high quality product to the mill.
The mill saw a major upgrade under Monpi Management in 2014. With an expansion of milling capacity, a brand new wet-milling line, and a state of the art waste water processing plant, the mill is able to offer the best possible processing environment from harvest till final green bean exports.
Many smallholder farmers in the region also bring their fresh coffee cherries to be processed and milled at Ulya mill.
The relatively high altitude and cooler climate of this area is ideal for the cultivation of high-quality coffee.
PNG is an extremely diverse country, with over 800 different languages spoken. Most tribes from the highlands had minimal contact with the western world until the 1930s, as exploration in PNG had been minimal. PNG is now a paradox between Western influence and indigenous traditions.
Ulya coffee is Rich and full bodied, with notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and sweet spices, with a lingering finish.
