Papua New Guinea is located on the eastern half of the island New Guinea, which it shares with Indonesia. The island itself is home to several hundred tribal groups - each with its own distinct language and customs. Coffee is produced by either large estates, or small farmers who group together in co-ops (many of which are organically certified) to process their own coffee. This can lead to inconsistent lots with coffees as a whole coming from the island, but quite a few systems are put into place to ensure that only the best of the best makes its way to North American ports and eventually into your cup.
Vibrant and rich; complex
Papua New Guinea coffee has been described as Sumatra meets Costa Rica for its fullness, spicy edge and clean profile. Expect a vibrant and rich cup, with low-key but excellent acidity, good body, and a complex nose in the cup.
