Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea (PNG) coffees are a cup of funky wildness, like the island itself. These coffees have a bright and delicate acidity of a malic acid - apple wineyness that sets them apart from the other Southeast Asian Archipelago coffees of the earthier Sumatran and Sulawesian variety.

You might compare PNGs to brighter Javas, but there are distinct differences between the two cups. PNGs tend to come off as more delicate, refined, and lighter body than washed Javas.

Papua New Guinea is most definitely a unique origin you must try, and is an excellent origin for certified organic coffee!
