Papua New Guinea coffee is grown in the country’s lush highlands, mainly by small family farmers using traditional, organic methods. The beans are mostly heirloom Arabica, descended from Jamaica Blue Mountain stock. Grown at high elevations in volcanic soil and wet, tropical climate, PNG coffee is prized for its lively, complex flavors—think tropical fruit, citrus, floral notes, and a smooth, rich body. Most beans are handpicked and washed, resulting in a clean, vibrant cup with a wild, exotic edge that specialty coffee lovers crave.
