Papua New Guinea Coffee

In recent years, Papua New Guinea coffee has been representing Oceania in the world specialty coffee scene with its unique, high-quality washed Arabica beans. Papua New Guinea coffee is characterized by full-bodied beans, moderate acidity, and a mellow, aromatic flavor profile.

Papua New Guinea is an island nation in Oceania. In Malay, "Papua" means "curly hair." It is said that in 1545, explorer Ortiz de Rete reached the island and noticed that most of the island's inhabitants had curly hair, so he called it "the island of curly-haired people," and the name has stuck ever since. Located east of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea has a typical island climate, situated between the equator and 10 degrees south latitude. With tropical rainforest, volcanic rock, and plateau terrain, and elevations ranging from 1,200-2,500 meters, it is truly a paradise for coffee cultivation.

Local production is relatively small, with about 85% of the total coffee production coming from smallholder garden cultivation systems. Small farmers join local cooperatives to share processing facilities. Coffee is the second largest agricultural export from Papua New Guinea, demonstrating the importance of the coffee industry to the country's economy. Due to different coffee varieties than Indonesia, higher elevations than Sumatra, and the use of washed processing, PNG coffee's terroir differs markedly from Indonesia's heavy, low-toned flavors. Instead, it offers brightness, sweet-tart notes, and floral and fruit aromas, similar to South American flavors.

Papua New Guinea boasts a pristine, natural environment with vast, fertile land. Its distinctive volcanic 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 can better control output quality and flavor expression. Located in Papua New Guinea's western highlands, near the Kimel River Valley in the Waghi Valley, Kimel Estate, like many large farms, has its own dedicated washing station. In fact, this is an estate jointly owned by many independent small coffee farmers from the surrounding Opais people—essentially, it's a private cooperative. Due to excellent growing conditions and the washing station's stable quality control processes, the coffee produced has vibrant brightness while preserving the unique flavor characteristics of Papua New Guinea coffee.

Another special feature of Kimel is the diversity of coffee varieties cultivated—so many that you can't count them on one hand: Typica, Arusha, Blue Mountain, Mundo Novo, Catimor, Caturra, and even more. In fact, just as one wouldn't put all eggs in one basket, most farmers plant different varieties to avoid the risk of poor growth or production below expectations for any particular variety. This practice also contributes to the interesting expression of flavor characteristics in their coffee.
