This one is super special, and we only booked one bag. Grab it while you can! 80% of all of PNG coffee come from small shareholders, with small yields. Cooperation is the name of the game to produce these incredible lots. Most pulp by hand, ferment in bags or buckets, and dry on tarps before selling parchment to local buyers. From there coffee moves through layers of intermediaries before reaching exporters in towns like Goroka and Hagen. Specialty quality emerges through centralized collection: estates with their own mills, or washing stations that send trucks into remote valleys to buy cherry and enforce standards on ripeness, fermentation, and drying. NG’s potential remains immense but fragile. Each harvest is shaped by whether groups maintain cohesion, whether washing stations stay active, and whether parchment makes it past intermediaries without being sold elsewhere. The country offers extraordinary coffees and cultural diversity, but turning that potential into reliable, traceable supply remains as challenging as it is rewarding. READ LESS
