Papua New Guinea – Marenban

Description

ABOUT MARENBAN ESTATE

This coffee comes from a 470-hectare plantation that’s owned by Anjip Mare, of the Waghi Plantation, as well as block holders and smaller farmers. Anjip is an older, local coffee buyer. In the past, he bought and sold cherry, or sold the parchment to factories. He is now processing his cherry and selling it as green coffee to exporters. A portion of the parchment was hulled in Jiwaka Province and transported, approximately 200 miles, to the central mill in Goroka, in the Eastern Highlands; the remaining portion was hulled at the mill. To preserve the coffee’s quality, it remained in the Highlands as long as possible and was transported 200 miles to the (humid) port city of Lae, just in time to meet the boat.

ABOUT THE REGION

North of Australia, Papua New Guinea is the eastern half of the island of New Guinea. It is within the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” situated on overlapping tectonic plates, and has active volcanoes. PNG is one of the most environmentally and culturally diverse places in the world — 852 known languages are spoken there, and more than 7 million people live on land owned by indigenous communities. Less than 20 percent of the population lives in cities, and an estimated 40 percent of the population is entirely self-sustaining. Jiwaka Province borders Mount Wilhelm, Papua New Guinea’s tallest mountain, and is the second-largest coffee producing area in the country.
