Bean Origins

The coffee industry in PNG is notable for its reliance on smallholder farmers, who own 1–2 hectare plots known as “gardens” where they grow coffee alongside other crops. While some estates and plantations exist, these smaller farms are the primary source of production.

The Keto Tapasi Progress Association, established in 2008, unites smallholder coffee growers from 18 communities in the Eastern Highlands. The association has been Fair Trade–certified since 2011 and organic-certified since 2014, using premiums to invest in depulpers, warehouse space, and transportation.

Brew as you like, but our roasting team suggests:

French Press

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.
