About this coffee :
Papua New Guinea Korofeigu Organic comes to us from the Korofeigu Farmer's Cooperative Society. This group is located in the Bena Bena Valley of the Eastern Highlands, between Goroka to the west and Henganofi to the east.
The Korofeigu community was one of the first suppliers for NKG’s New Guinea Highlands Coffee Exports (NGHCE). The supply chain formalized itself into a cooperative in reaction to the Organic certification program in 2010. Since then, the coop — which may be a cooperative in name and practice, though not as an officially registered entity, which is common in the region— has grown from 97 certified smallholder producers (some of whom are seen above, near a nursery) farming area of 112 hectares to more than 1,700 farming around 2,000 hectares as of 2020.
This rapid growth illustrates how impactful the Korofeigu Organic certification program has been on the livelihood of participants. In addition to higher premiums for their coffee, they have access to farmer trainings, as well as regular social and healthcare workshops. In recent years, NGHCE began a program to assist farmers in obtaining their Organic certification.
This coffee is a clean & smooth cup that makes a lovely morning cuppa. You'll get a smooth malt chocolate note, paired with a guava juicy note and syrupy sweetness. An organic coffee that makes a nice first coffee of the day.
