Country of Origin: Papua New Guinea  Producer: Various smallholder farms Process: Washed Varieties: Arusha, Bourbon, Typica Elevation: 1400-1900 MASL Region: Western Highlands Harvest: May-September Tasting notes: Caramelized sugar and cocoa with mild fruit flavors. Heavy body with mild acidity and sweetness. Thick and heavy; just like the sound coming out of the Grunge scene in the 80’s/90’s. Check out the deep riffs of dark creamy flavors, with little solos of dried fruit sweetness. This genre is sure to have you head-banging in no time.

Since 2012, Cafe Imports’ senior green-coffee buyer Piero Cristiani has made the long trek to Papua New Guinea to develop relationships, cup new coffees, and continue to facilitate development and investment in specialty coffee programs. Monpi is the primary exporting partner for Cafe Imports in Papua New Guinea. Through this partnership, Cafe Imports has been able to source coffees from individual washing stations, communities, and cooperatives.
