Deep dive: The coffees used in this blend are selected from two beautiful provinces in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Combining the distinct flavour of the coffees from the limestone regions of the Sim bu Province with the coffees grown in the fertile volcanic soil of the Eastern Highlands Province gives this blend its unique and nicely balanced taste profile.

The smallholder farmers producing these coffees in the form of parchment have developed and perfected their technique to produce a clean and balanced product over generations, picking only the ripest cherries most suitable for this quality. This parchment is sun-dried to under twelve percent moisture content and occasionally, may require some mechanical drying at the processing mill. Processing the dried parchment to green beans occurs at selected processing mills or at the central processing mill in Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province of our sister company in Papua New Guinea. The green beans are then screened and sorted to meet this grade’s specifications.

To preserve quality, the coffees remain in the highlands, where the climate is far less humid. Hence when the time of departure comes, the coffees are transported an approximate of two hundred miles by road to the port city of Lae and just in time to meet the vessel schedules for the coffees to be shipped out into the world.
