PAPUA NEW GUINEA | WASHED

from £12.50

SINGLE ORIGIN | MEDIUM ROAST

FARM: OUTSPAN 4 MILE WETMILL

PRODUCER: SMALL HOLDER FARMERS

ORIGIN: EASTERN HIGHLANDS | PAPUA NEW GUINEA

VARIETY: TYPICA

PROCESS: WASHED

This lot is sourced from 1,500 smallholder farmers partnered with the Outspan 4 Mile wetmill in Goroka. These farmers cultivate the typica and mundo novo varieties at altitudes up to 1,500masl. The mill buys ripe cherries and processes them centrally to ensure complete control of cherry selection and processing.

The coffee is harvested by selecting only the cherries that have reached perfect ripeness. The beans are then depulped manually using a pulping machine. Afterward, they are placed in a container with water for an initial separation, removing any beans that float. The coffee is transferred to an open tank to ferment for about 12 hours. It is then washed two or three times until all the mucilage is removed. Finally, the beans are dried on patios for around seven days before completing in mechanical dryers. 

Eastern Highlands Province is the largest coffee-producing province in Papua New Guinea, with an average altitude of between 1,100 and 2,000 meters above sea level. Farmers grow coffee using traditional methods, mostly without the use of chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides. They are smallholder farmers with an average land area of ​​0.5 hectares.

Although PNG has often produced more than 1 million bags of coffee annually, the average has dropped below 1 million over the last 10 years. The vast majority of coffee in PNG (95%) is grown in the highland regions near the center of the country. These coffee exhibit the heavy body characteristic of this part of the world along with the savory sweet flavors. Coffee from PNG is graded using a unique matrix that reflects not only screen size but bean shape, defect count, and color in addition to aroma and cup quality with A/X, being the highest quality available.
