More about Papua New Guinea - Kindeng Mill

Papua New Guinea is a small island between Indonesia and Australia. Located in the "coffee belt,” an area that is known for its warm, humid climate and rich, fertile soil around the equator, Papua New Guinea is highly conducive for coffee cultivation. Here coffee plantations are at high altitudes, ranging from 600 to 1,800 MASL. Allowing coffee plants to absorb higher amounts of sunlight, high altitude leads to coffee beans offering complex flavors.

Coffee production has been one of the major sources of income for Papua New Guinea as around 2.5 million people work in the industry. Mostly relying on smallholder farmers and sustainable farming practices, the industry is highly invested in producing the highest-quality coffee beans possible. 

Papua New Guinea - Kindeng Mill comes from the Kindeng Dry Mill, located in the Jikawa province of Papua New Guinea. It is a blend of coffee collected in cherry from about 1,500 multiple smallholders located in the Kindeng and Arufa municipalities. The average farm size of producers in this area is about 1-2 hectares, and the soil is generally sandy loam and loamy clay.

After cherries are received at the mill, they are processed accordingly and dried on raised beds and canvases. They are moved multiple times a day throughout the average 1-month drying process to ensure an even and uniform average moisture content across the lot. Once the coffee is adequately dried, it is placed into bags, stored in a cool and dry warehouse, hulled, milled, and prepped for export.

These community select lots are mostly larger lots of coffee with an elevated profile above signature coffees. Generally these are blended lots from various producers from a single community in a specific coffee growing region in the world.

These lots offer an increased level of traceability and often are a result of small-holder producers banding together in an official or unofficial structure to sell their coffees together. Café Imports is able to blend specific day lots to create a desired profile working closely with these farmers.
