What lies at the root of this coffee’s distinguished Q certification? You can trace Master Origins Papua New Guinea’s speciality grade back to its extraordinary terroir. Long isolated thanks to its extreme topography, the impossibly remote mountainous interior of the Western Highlands was eventually visited by the outside world. They brought noble old Arabica varieties and these Typica, Bourbon and Arusha varieties first planted still reign in the Waghi Valley’s fertile soils.

But distinguished Arabica alone doesn’t guarantee speciality coffee. Grown by smallholder farmers under shade, inter-cropped and with little inputs, the coffee benefits from being cultivated naturally and with care. There’s but a narrow window between harvesting cherry and pulping it before quality deterioration sets in, and getting the coffee across remote and rugged paths to the wet mill is no small feat. Once there, it undergoes a lengthy fermentation process before being dried in the sun. The bean then avails itself of several weeks to rest and stabilize. Stored in the refreshingly cool mountain Highlands, it keeps its honeyed sweetness for longer.

Walk the streets of Miami and you’ll pass dozens of ventanitas. These ‘little windows’ are portholes to Cuba; miniature coffee shops dishing out small bites and coffee—the short Cafecito or the larger Colado to share. The city is a melting pot of traditions and World Explorations Miami espresso is a bold blend of Arabica and Robusta coffees that echoes that. Caribbean Arabica joins Latin American coffees, sealing the authenticity of this archetypal Cuban-style cup.

Short, dark split roasting and a fine grind help evoke every ventanita’s Cuban Cafecito. Always sweetened with a sprinkle of brown sugar, this coffee is as vibrant as the context in which it’s enjoyed. While Americans grab their tall coffees to-go, Miami reflects its strong Hispanic influence: coffee is short and shared. Intense, with thick crema, its strong roasted character begs for brown sugar to soften the bitter notes. Enjoy your Cafecito with brown sugar and people because in Miami, coffee is a way to be together.
