Papua New Guinea

  Coffee Description: Cupping Notes of Dark Chocolate, Black Tea, Citrus, Plum Medium Bodied Medium Acidity Washed Mico-Lot Single Origin 12 oz. Bag    The rich terroir of Simbai lends itself to wonderful sweetness, filled with chocolate and tropical fruit flavors, and a full-bodied, buttery quality representative of washed PNG coffee. Papua New Guinea’s mountainous terrain with amazingly fertile volcanic soil is excellent for growing rich, vibrant Arabica coffee but not very good for transporting it. As a result, many remote villages and smallholder coffee farms are only reachable by foot or light aircraft, which is why air travel is crucial to get things moving. Simbai Balus Kopi (Simbai Airplane Coffee) comes from the Simbai region, just over the Bismarck Range that borders the Western Highlands Province and Sepik Province. Our sister company at origin, Volcafe PNG, works with over 4,000 farmers in this isolated region across four airstrips to get them the support they need. Al
