Papua New Guinea Coffee

In recent years, Papua New Guinea coffee has begun representing Oceania in the world specialty coffee arena with its unique high-quality washed Arabica beans. Papua New Guinea coffee features full-bodied beans, moderate acidity, and rich, mellow mouthfeel characteristics.

Papua New Guinea is an island nation in Oceania. In Malay, "Papua" means "curly hair." Legend has it that in 1545, explorer Ruy López de Villalobos reached the island and found that most islanders had curly hair, thus calling it "the island of curly-haired people," hence the name. Papua New Guinea is located east of Indonesia, featuring a typical island climate situated between the equator and 10 degrees south latitude. With tropical rainforest volcanic rock and plateau terrain, elevation ranges from 1200-2500 meters, making it a paradise for coffee cultivation.

Coffee Production & Characteristics

Local production is not large, with approximately 85% of total coffee produced by smallholder garden cultivation systems. Small farmers join local cooperatives to share processing equipment. Coffee is the second-largest agricultural export by volume from Papua New Guinea, demonstrating the importance of the coffee industry to the national economy. Due to different coffee varieties than Indonesia, higher elevation than Sumatra, and washed processing, PNG coffee's regional taste differs markedly from Indonesia's heavy, mellow flavors. Instead, it exhibits brightness, sweet-sour balance, floral and fruity aromas, similar to South American flavors.

Papua New Guinea boasts pristine, natural environments with vast, fertile lands. Its unique volcanic rock soil and abundant rainfall create excellent natural conditions for coffee growth. Papua New Guinea's premium coffee beans are as beautiful and precious as the country's national bird, the bird of paradise.

Kimel Estate

Large plantations typically have their own washing stations, while smaller individual coffee farmers have greater control over quality and flavor expression. Kimel Estate, located in the Western Highlands' Waghi Valley near the Kimel River basin, like many large estates, has its own dedicated washing station. However, it's actually co-owned by numerous independent small coffee farmers from the surrounding Opais people—essentially a private cooperative. Due to excellent growing conditions and the washing station's stable quality control processes, the resulting coffee exhibits vibrant brightness while preserving the unique flavor characteristics of Papua New Guinea coffee.

Unique Features

Another special feature lies in the diversity of coffee varieties grown at Kimel—too many to count on one hand: Typica, Arusha, Blue Mountain, Mundo Novo, Catimor, Caturra, and many more. In fact, just as one doesn't put all eggs in one basket, most farmers plant different varieties to avoid the risk of poor growth or subpar production from any specific variety. This practice also contributes to the interesting expression of their coffee's flavor characteristics.

Tasting Experience

This peaberry from Kimel Estate offers subtle spice notes on the palate, followed by sweet and refreshing flavors of nuts and sugarcane. It has a creamy, buttery smoothness, with the peaberry characteristics providing a more substantial mouthfeel. The overall performance is balanced and smooth. Rich in flavor with pleasant aroma, it lacks herbal or earthy notes. Its texture is as intense and rich as a Van Gogh painting.
