Papua New Guinea’s specialty coffee comes from the eastern and western highlands — the Waghi, Jimi, and Baliem valleys — where smallholder farmers grow coffee on gardens tucked into mountainsides at altitudes up to 2,000 metres. Getting the cherry to a washing station is often the hardest part of the process.

The cup profile leans clean, sweet, and fruity — think tropical fruit, stone fruit, and a lighter body than the Indonesian neighbours just to the west. Typica and Bourbon are the main varieties, with most lots washed, though naturals are appearing from a handful of producers experimenting.

PNG is a quieter origin on European menus. When a good lot appears, it’s usually worth grabbing before it’s gone.

Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea’s specialty coffee komt uit de oostelijke en westelijke hooglanden — de Waghi-, Jimi- en Baliem-valleien — waar smallholder-boeren koffie verbouwen op tuinen genesteld in berghellingen op hoogtes tot 2.000 meter. De kers naar een washing station krijgen is vaak het lastigste deel van het proces.

Het kopprofiel neigt schoon, zoet en fruitig — denk tropisch fruit, steenfruit, en een lichter lichaam dan de Indonesische buren net iets ten westen. Typica en Bourbon zijn de belangrijkste variëteiten, met de meeste lots gewassen, hoewel naturals opduiken bij een handjevol experimenterende producenten.

Die Kirschen zu einer Washing Station zu bringen, ist oft der schwierigste Teil des Prozesses.

Das Tassenprofil neigt zu klar, süß und fruchtig — tropische Früchte, Steinobst und ein leichterer Körper als bei den indonesischen Nachbarn weiter westlich. Typica und Bourbon sind die Hauptsorten, das meiste gewaschen, auch wenn Naturals bei einer Handvoll experimentierender Produzenten auftauchen.

PNG ist eine leise Herkunft auf europäischen Karten. Wenn ein gutes Lot erscheint, lohnt es sich meist, zuzugreifen, bevor es weg ist.
