Papua New Guinea

We have a deeply entrenched relationship with our friends and partners in Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea is a relatively new origin in the specialty coffee market. Until recently, PNG coffees were long termed "blender coffees" due to their inconsistent profile and limited availability. High processing standards and farmers committed to exceptionally high quality have transformed PNG into a specialty coffee powerhouse. We are focused on representing the best top-grade coffee that PNG has to offer.

PNG • Big Red

We are one of the only roasters in the world fortunate enough to showcase Big Red on our menu. Big red was carefully developed over three years to be PNG's first true microlot offering. The Maragogipe variety, known as the "elephant bean" due to its size, is a naturally occurring mutation that produces its best flavors when grown at high altitudes. Big Red gets its name from both its bold cherry flavors and the giant "elephant bean" that its tree produces. Big Red represents Papua New Guinea's first microlot offering and provides an exciting glimpse into what lies ahead for PNG coffee.
