This coffee comes from Kindeng, in the heart of the Waghi Valley, in Jiwaka Province, one of Papua New Guinea’s most important coffee-growing regions. Surrounded by mountains, fertile volcanic soils, and elevations between 1,200 and 1,800 meters, the area offers ideal conditions for growing traditional Arabica varieties such as Typica, Arusha, and Bourbon.

Local production depends almost entirely on smallholder families, who combine traditional practices—such as hand-picking ripe cherries—with community projects aimed at improving quality and traceability and consolidating distinct lots for the specialty market.

Kindeng’s producers work in an exceptionally rich natural environment near the Wara Tuman River, which brings nutrient-rich water down from the volcanic mountains. Cooperatives and training programs promote good agricultural practices, environmental management, farm improvements, and organic pest control.

The harvested cherries are delivered to the Kindeng wet mill, where they are depulped, fermented, and processed into parchment coffee. The parchment is then transported to Monpi’s dry mill in Hagen for final processing into green coffee.
