The Story

Gentle acidity with earthy notes of black tea ? We got you. Elimbari comes from Chuave district in central Papua New Guinea and it sits in the New Guinea Highlands - a large chain of mountains that runs across the island. This coffee specifically is grown on the slopes of Mount Wilhelm. 

Coffee is grown mainly by smallholders in ‘gardens’ - a small plot of land that

contains everything from a few trees up to a three-hectare plot at most.Once picked coffee is pulped, and then dry fermented for 24 hours in wooden or plastic boxes before being washed and dried on sails – stretched tarpaulin drying beds. Coffee is then sold to collectors and taken to the renovated dry mill facility belonging to Kongo, who cup, select, process and hand sort where necessary before bagging and exporting the coffee.
