PAPUA NEW GUINEA Western Highlands

Α sweet cup of coffee with lots of fruit acidity, winey aftertaste and a rich mouthfeel.
Coming from the Western Highlands where the predominant economy is coffee, accounting for 20% of the country’s total production. The land is densely forested with mountains, river valleys and cool average temperatures. The farm Kindeng Mill is located in the Jikawa province of Papua New Guinea.

This coffee is a blend of cherries from about 1500 multiple small coffee producers located in the Kindeng and Arufa municipalities. The average farm size of producers in this area is about 1-2 hectares, and the soil is generally fertile, sandy and clayey.

Naturally-processed coffees from Papua New Guinea are quite rare and during the process, only the ripest cherries are used as the amount of time necessary to dry and cure these coffees fully is extensive. After cherries are harvested, they are hand sorted and placed on raised beds for an average period of 3-4 weeks until fully dried.
