PAPUA NEW GUINEA COFFEE Do you believe that coffee is “the most traveled bean”? No bean deserves to be called as such than the world’s second most popular beverage in the whole world. First of course is water. Coffee traces its origin from Ethiopia, not only because of the legend of the “dancing goats” but also because botanical evidence indicates that coffee beans actually originated from the plateaus of Ethiopia. These red cherry coffee beans then traveled to Yemen (6th century) to be cultivated in the highlands. Then these coffee beans conquered the heights of the Jamaican Blue Mountain soil and the world hailed its produce. And the coffee travelogue goes on and on until its trees covered most of the Highlands of South and Central America, Asia and Africa. In Africa, coffee has found its roots grounded in the land of Papua New Guinea. This produced a coffee bearing the name of the Papua New Guinea Coffee.
Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is known to be the world’s most sought after coffee and it commands the highest price in the market. Those very plants were transported (1927) to the land of Papua New Guinea and acquired a new name. It’s like marriage, when the roots of the tree are planted to a new soil, it produces a new offspring. This new offspring now has the mixture of the character of both parents. We get the many unique flavors of Jamaican coffee with the new twist of sweet acidic flavor with a clean medium to full body, with floral and fruity (mango and papaya) hints. Now that is Papua New Guinea coffee.
Being a proud offspring of the famous coffee, this coffee of Papua New Guinea has successfully stepped out of the shadow of the celebrated parent and made a unique and equally famous flavor. New Guinea Coffee is a major agricultural export of the country providing livelihood to many. This most traveled bean, coffee, is a multi faceted stimulating beverage with many characteristics and health benefits. The growing of coffee in Papua New Guinea is not simply done because of the monetary returns it could give. Coffee farmers have caught the universal passion for perfectly caring and growing coffee to serve the world with a unique tasting Papua New Guinea coffee.
