Coffees of New Guinea
The island of New Guinea lies just north of Australia, almost directly on the equator. The country of Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of this island, while the other half is known as Irian Jaya, part of Indonesia. The climate is hot and very wet, and the river valleys of the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea provide a wonderful environment in which to grow coffee. The Wahgi River carves a fifty-mile long valley between four thousand meter high mountains. Plantations were established in this rugged area in the 1950's and 1960's, using seedstock from the fabled Blue Mountain region of Jamaica. The coffee produced by the top five plantations (Sigri, Kimel, Gumanch, Madan, and Wagamil) amounts to only about 14,000 bags per year, but it is among the best in the world. The coffee of Papua New Guinea is some of our favorites, all of which are renowned for their consistent quality. New Guinea Coffee, which produces a cup that is well-balanced, with a good body and lively acidity is well suited to a Full City Roast.
