Papua New Guinea Coffee Origins Map — Morobe and Madang

This coffee is sourced from the Morobe and Madang provinces of Papua New Guinea — specifically from the communities of Belombibi, Wawet, Hongo, and Neng — at elevations between 1,200 and 1,700 meters above sea level. Grown in rich volcanic soil by smallholder farmers using Typica and Mondo Novo varietals, it is fully washed to preserve its clean, bright character.

One of the most culturally diverse nations in the world with over 800 native languages, Papua New Guinea occupies the eastern half of the Island of New Guinea — the world’s second largest island — plus 600 offshore islands. Coffee is grown across 16 producing provinces, with 90% of production occurring in the Eastern and Western Highlands, Jiwaka, Morobe, and Chimbu provinces, providing income to over 400,000 rural households.
