Papua New Guinea Gourmet Coffee shares many of the unique flavors of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. This coffee will present you with a sweet acidic flavor, a mild, medium body and delightful fruity undertones. The sweet taste of Albizzia berries, used in the production of New Guinea coffee are grown in the wild rugged mountains of Papua New Guinea. They were initially discovered in 1933 when the Albizza trees were found in the picturesque Wahgi valleys. Prior to their use in coffee, the Arabs used the coffee berries for spiritual reasons along with creating their own medicines.
Gourmet Papua New Guinea Coffee is grown on 350 acres of land that run along the Wahgi River. A gentleman by the name of Tom Cole purchased the land and turned it into the largest coffee plantation in New Guinea. The plantation's premium cherry crop harvested several times over from April through September.
The raw beans are then painstakingly hand sorted to evaluate character, quality and condition to ensure superiority in the delivery. Hands down, Papua New Guinea is acknowledged for being one of the finest quality coffees in the country.
This enormous plantation follows strict agriculture policies, which in turn help protect our environment and their community. The community relations on this Plantation are astounding. Perks such as offering their employees along with each family member free medical care and free education ensure safe, happy, healthy workers. Not only is there an elementary school on the Plantation premises, but the local roads and bridges are also maintained by the Plantation. This proves a theory of CoffeeAM, that it is about more than just the cup in your hand, the taste in your mouth; it is also about the hundreds, if not thousands of lives that are supported by coffee.
Papua New Guinea coffee is cupped daily to guarantee the rich, consistent taste of brewed coffee time and time again.
