Papua New Guinea Korofeigu

Country/Region: Papua New Guinea/Bena Bena Valley Varietal: Bourbon, Typica Processing: Washed Elevation: 1400 - 1800 m.a.s.l. We Taste: Yellow Plum, Caramel, Black Tea Grown in the Bena Bena Valley of Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands, Korofeigu Organic comes from the Korofeigu Farmer’s Cooperative Society, a community shaped by generations of Indigenous knowledge and outside influences. Coffee was introduced to the region and was not initially seen as an important crop by local communities. Over time, it became an important part of the local economy and created new opportunities for farmers. The cooperative was established to help producers achieve Organic certification and has since grown to support more farmers across the region. Members also have access to workshops covering farm training, personal health, and financial literacy, helping strengthen both their livelihoods and communities. In the cup, Korofeigu Organic is clean and well-balanced, with notes of yellow plum, caramel, and black tea. Bright fruitiness meets gentle sweetness, followed by a delicate tea-like finish. This coffee reflects the journey of a once-unfamiliar crop becoming an important part of the community and the farmers who grow it.
