Origin of Papua New Guinea Coffee (PNG)

Located near the border of the Eastern Highlands Province, the district of Chuave sits at the heart of Papua New Guinea (PNG) within the stunning New Guinea Highlands, which span across the entire island.

The Highlands are a chain of mountain ranges, and the Bismarck range is where the coffee-growing slopes that produce the cherry for Elimbari are. PNG is known as a megadiverse country—one of 17 identified countries that exhibit over 5,000 endemic plant species and border marine ecosystems. Coffee is grown mainly by smallholders in ‘gardens’ – a small plot of land containing everything from a few trees to a three-hectare plot at most. There are a few more traditional plantations, which account for just under 20% of production.

Once picked, coffee is pulped and then dry fermented for 24 hours in wooden or plastic boxes before being washed and dried on sails–stretched tarpaulin drying beds. Coffee is then sold to collectors and taken to the renovated dry mill facility belonging to Kongo, who cup, select, process and hand sort where necessary before bagging and exporting the coffee.
