Papua New Guinea

Located in the South Pacific just north of Australia, Papua New Guinea (PNG) occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea. It is one of the least explored places left on earth, with dense rainforests, rugged mountains, and many diverse indigenous people (with over 800 languages spoken).

It has been estimated that 40% of the PNG population derives income from coffee farming. Depending on the year and harvest conditions PNG estate coffees range from pleasant to splendid.

PNG has been a favorite of ours for many years, unlike other Indonesian coffees it shares traits with the Central American and African coffees. During the month of January we are featuring the PNG Arokara Estate coffee grown in the Eastern Highlands, these 100% Arabica coffee beans are grown above 1500m above sea level.

You will find a wonderfully fragrant coffee in the grinder with a nice brightness, medium body and mild fruitiness with subtle hints of chocolate in the cup.
