Taste the Authentic Unroasted Coffee Beans from Papua New Guinea

where tradition, nature, and craftsmanship come together in every cup.

 

Our Land & Environment

Nestled in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, the Southern Highlands region is one of the country’s premier coffee-growing areas. With elevations ranging from 1,300 to 1,800 meters, a cool, humid climate, and abundant rainfall, it provides the perfect conditions for cultivating high-quality Arabica coffee. The fertile volcanic soil of Koroaka enhances coffee growth, enriching the beans with essential minerals. The significant temperature difference between day and night slows down the ripening process, allowing coffee cherries to develop a more complex and refined flavor profile.

 

A Legacy of Coffee Cultivation

Coffee cultivation in Papua New Guinea dates back to the early 20th century, introduced by European settlers. The Southern Highlands soon became a key hub for coffee production, with Koroaka standing out for its smallholder farming tradition. Local farmers, often working on plots of just a few hectares, continue to use traditional hand-picking and processing methods. While commercial-scale plantations emerged in the 1930s, Koroaka farmers have preserved their time-honored techniques, ensuring a unique coffee profile that embodies their rich heritage.

Community & Culture

Coffee is not just an economic lifeline for Koroaka—it is woven into the fabric of the community. Local families rely on coffee farming for their livelihoods, and the harvest season is a communal celebration. Villagers come together to handpick and process the beans, reinforcing a tradition of craftsmanship and cooperation.

Coffee farming is passed down through generations, with elders teaching the younger ones how to select the finest cherries and harvest them with care. Families and neighbors work hand in hand, infusing each bean with the warmth of their shared efforts.

The coffee trade also brings positive changes to the region, funding schools, healthcare centers, and infrastructure. Every cup of Goroka coffee carries the essence of the land and the aspirations of its people.
