Coffee of the Month - January 2025 (Bar only)
About This Coffee
This is a washed, AA grade coffee from The Korgua Estate.
Korgua Estate sits at about 1400 meters above sea level and is planted mostly in older Bourbon and Typica cultivars. It's a wet processed coffee, meaning the coffee cherry and much of the fruit are stripped from the seed using depulping machinery, and then the seed still covered in sticky mucilage is submerged in water tanks where it ferments overnight, breaking down the remaining outer layer of fruit.
Korgua Estate was created on neutral ground to allow coffee growers from rival tribes to bring their coffees to market without causing disruption and conflict.
Growing Coffee in Papua New Guinea
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 savoury sweet flavours.
