Ultimate New Guinea Coffee Tutorial
New Guinea A Coffee Tips.
Beyond any doubt coffee lovers today have the luxury of choosing from coffee beans that come from every corner of the world.
One place that many people don’t necessarily think of when they think of coffee (if they’ve heard of it at all!) is Papua New Guinea, which occupies the Eastern half of the island of New Guinea, which is north of Australia.
Yet Papua New Guinea is a major producer of coffee. New Guinea A coffee beans are an example of a full-bodied coffee that hails from this under-appreciated region.
Papua New Guinea’s coffee industry, like the country as a whole, has undergone quite a few changes over the last few decades. It acquired independence from Australia in 1975 and became a parliamentary democracy.
Arabica coffee (the superior grade, as opposed to Robusta) is now the nation’s most important crop. Most of the coffee production is in the hands of rural villagers from the Highlands region, where nearly half of the villagers grow coffee. So the coffee crop here is largely controlled by the people who actually grow it.
Papua New Guinea is, in many respects, an ideal region to grow coffee. It has a lush climate, fertile soil and highlands that are perfect for coffee cultivation. It is geographically and politically a unique place all its own, and this includes the coffee beans grown there.
The coffee is grown at an altitude of at least 5,000 feet, which is always desirable and generally results in a richer-tasting coffee bean.
The coffee industry is fairly recent in Papua New Guinea, because this region has only had contact with the rest of the world since the 20th Century. So the potential for this area to become a leading producer of this valued commodity has not yet been fully tapped.
New Guinea A is a good example of Papua New Guinea’s great-tasting coffee beans, a full-bodied, slightly sweet coffee that has a distinct and refreshing flavor.
As Papua New Guinea inhabits a large region with a great environment for growing coffee, it is likely that the rest of the world will soon discover that some of the world’s best coffee beans are grown in this remote island in the South Pacific.
Origin: Highlands of Papua New Guinea
Sweetly smoky, cedary aroma with a hint of semi-sweet chocolate. In the cup it presents a particularly full body and creamy mouth feel, sweetly and richly acidy, but with limited nuance - hints of cedar and tart cherry, perhaps a continuing suggestion of semi-sweet chocolate. Simple but sweetly rich finish.
