Papua New Guinea – Simbai Balus Kopi

Papua New Guinea – Simbai Balus Kopi

$19.00 – $90.00

This is one of the best coffees from PNG that we’ve ever tasted! It’s delicate enough to be roasted to a light medium to preserve the juicy, tart cranberry acidity while staying sweet and interesting.

Description

PAPUA NEW GUINEA SIMBAI BALUS KOPI

 

Simbai Balus Kopi (Simbai Airplane Coffee) comes from the Simbai region, just over the Bismarck Range that borders the Western Highlands Province and Sepik Province. All PNG green coffee from Simbai is transported via plane. For Simbai farmers to access the supply chain, they must bring their coffee to an airstrip. It’s not easy – some farmers have a day’s journey from their farm to the airfields. Once the coffee arrives, it’s weighed in parchment, recorded, and stored in warehouses.

 

Papua New Guinea’s mountainous terrain with amazingly fertile volcanic soil is excellent for growing rich, vibrant Arabica coffee but not very good for transporting it. As a result, many remote villages and smallholder coffee farms that make up 85% of PNG’s coffee production are only reachable by foot or light aircraft, which is why air travel is crucial to get things moving.
