Nebilyer Valley is a broad and fertile high-elevation valley in the country’s western highlands. Mount Hagen, the largest nearby city of about 50,000 people, is extremely remote but also PNG’s third largest. Along with tropical fruits, spice, vanilla, livestock, and a huge variety of subsistence crops, farmers have been cultivating coffee here for about 80 years. As with other coffee producing areas of PNG, there is a mixture of large estates, known locally as “plantations”, and individual smallholders with their own ancestral plots or share-cropped style land leases for the purpose of cultivation.
Wet-processed coffee beans from Papua New Guinea's Tambul-Nebilyer region feature bright citrus and tropical fruit notes, subtle jasmine and honey sweetness, gentle spices, balanced wine-like acidity, a creamy body, and a clean, lingering cocoa finish.
