Roaster's Choice Single Origin - Coffee Club Exclusive

Papua New Guinea's fertile highlands provide ideal growing conditions for exceptional Arabica coffee, supporting some of the world's best-preserved Typica lineage varieties. Coffee cultivation expanded throughout the region in the 1930s, when Australian settlers established large estates across several highland provinces. Over time, local smallholder farmers embraced coffee cultivation, making it an essential source of income for rural communities.

This distinctive natural-processed coffee is produced through a collaboration between Monpi Coffee and Kindeng Wet Mill in Jiwaka Province. Monpi, a coffee miller and exporter operating in Goroka and Mount Hagen, partners with local producers to develop exceptional coffees through thoughtful processing techniques.

For this lot, carefully selected ripe coffee cherries undergo natural processing, remaining intact throughout a month-long drying period in Jiwaka's cool highland climate. Once dried, the coffee is transported to Monpi's Kagamuga dry mill for hulling before final milling and preparation for export in Goroka.

Beyond coffee production, Monpi supports local farming communities through its Sustainability Management Service (SMS), providing training in sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation, gender equality, and youth inclusion. The company is also developing a coffee nursery to supply new plantings to local farmers, helping strengthen long-term productivity and preserve the region's rich coffee-growing heritage.
