Papua New Guinea Lahamengu Red Mountain Natural

This one is exclusive to Nectarous!  

Papua New Guinea Red Mountain Natural Green Coffee Beans comes from our friends at Genuine Origin. Genuine Origin’s sister company, Volcafe PNG, owns and operates the largest dry mill in Papua New Guinea. In fact, Volcafe PNG is the only Papua New Guinea exporter to own a wet mill. The Lahamenegu Mill, located in Papua New Guinea’s Eastern Highlands, serves as an essential link between Genuine Origin and local producers. While most smallholders in PNG process coffee at the farm level, the Lahamenegu Mill allows Volcafe PNG to buy in cherry, experiment with uncommon processing methods, and have a firm grasp over quality control.

PNG green coffee beans are usually wash-processed, but private ownership of a wet mill has its privileges. It means natural (or dry) processed PNG green coffees like this can be made to order. For natural coffee lots, cherry is only sourced from farms that are part of a registered supply chain. The Lahamenegu Mill encourages long-term relationships with smallholders, which in turn maintains production consistency and quality over the years.
