ORIGIN DETAILS
Papua New Guinea Coffee is primarily grown in the country’s highlands, where approximately 87,000 hectares are under cultivation. Most production comes from smallholder farmers tending less than 2.5 hectares of coffee trees, contributing to careful hand-harvesting and traditional growing practices.
Coffee was first introduced to Papua New Guinea in the late 19th century, with Arabica varieties established from Jamaican seed stock in the 1920s. By the 1950s, Papua New Guinea coffee had become commercially established and recognized for its unique flavor character.
