Eastern Highlands, Papua New Guinea
Brian Kuglame is the General Manager of the AAK Cooperative, a group of 64 communities from across the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Each community is a single-family village with a language and traditions of its own. AAK stands for Apo, Angra and Kange, the word for unity in the three major local languages.
Most coffee in Papua New Guinea is grown on smallholder farms in the Highlands. AAK is the only cooperative in the country to unify so many separate communities, and its members are proud of the role that coffee plays in promoting unity.

Brew as you like, but our roasting team suggests:
The French Press method is perfect for bringing out the heavy body, fruity acidity, and nuanced flavors of chamomile, praline, and earth tones in this Papua New Guinea coffee. Its full immersion brew allows the rich complexity of the coffee to fully develop, resulting in a flavorful and satisfyingly rich cup.
