Baroida Estate was founded by Ben Colbran in the 1960s, during a time when the government encouraged foreign agriculturalists to acquire and cultivate land throughout the highlands. Ben was among the first farmers to cultivate coffee in this area, which led him to develop many unique approaches and solutions for growth in the local soils and climate. He passed his knowledge on to his son, Nichol, who now runs the farm and attributes the high quality of their coffee to the “old-fashioned” systems that were designed and implemented by his father decades ago.

The Colbran family's offering is an exemplary coffee from Papua New Guinea, showcasing both the caliber of coffee available and the flavor complexity and nuance possible from the region.

This coffee's complexity and clarity of flavor are owed in part to the unique cultivation and processing methods developed by Ben Colbran and the constant innovation that has always defined the estate's practices.

Nichol Colbran is a coffee we recommend to folks who love coffees from the Asia Pacific region or want to try an offering from an area newer to Coava. It showcases a distinct and unique profile, featuring flavors ranging from floral and fruity to rich with a hint of spice.
