Papua New Guinea Purosa
Papua New Guinea (PNG)
This Papua New Guinea (PNG) coffee is located in the Pacific region just
north of Australia; PNG is an island of spectacular scenery and culture. The
abundant rainfall and rich volcanic soil provide ideal growing conditions for coffee. Annual rainfalls make transportation difficult because the roads are not sealed and gravel is scarce. To solve this, the Co-op adopted organic agricultural techniques and the Fair Trade model that increased the value of their coffee. The concept of organic coffee was first introduced to PNG in 1991. Coffee is the only cash crop for these growers and higher sales will result in better benefits and a brighter future for these families.
There are 2,604 farmers registered in the Co-op who live in the 32 villages spread over 500 square kilometers of the valley. Highlands Organic Agriculture Co-operative Ltd. (HOAC) is made up of 12,000 families who tend their small coffee plots and process beans at their village mill. As demand for their exquisite coffee grows, it is expected that 5,000 more growers will join HOAC over the next two years.
This PNG coffee presents both chocolate and nutty flavours with a slightly fruity finish.
