Goroka Valley

"Our exceptional coffee is sourced from the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, nestled deep within the valleys of the Goroka region. This area is characterised by small farm holders in remote villages, who produce 95% of the coffee. On average, each farmer cultivates approximately 0.7 hectares of land, contributing to a total production area of 1,435 hectares. Grown at high altitudes, between 1500 and 1800 meters above sea level, our highland coffee is of the prized Typica varietal. It is distinguished by a clean, smooth finish, complemented by complex notes of herbal and floral aromas, and flavours of caramel and earthy spice. Due to the challenges of road access to nearby towns, farmers typically wash their coffee locally and then sell their parchment to village traders. From there, the coffee is transported to the dry mill for hulling, cleaning, grading, and packaging. Finally, it is shipped out from the capital of the Eastern Province, Lae, which serves as Papua New Guinea's key port city." [Bru House Coffee Co.] The cup ☕
