It has the complexity and body to use as an espresso base. It is known for its rich syrupy body, fruity flavor, and high acidity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHOAC (Highland Organic Agriculture Cooperative) is the producer group exported by Coffee Connections. It is one of the few Fair Trade groups registered in PNG. The group has invested their Fair Trade Premium in their community, building new classrooms and desks in the school and purchasing mattresses for local health centers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe area of production lies in the mountainous Eastern Highlands near the town of Okapa. The coffee grows in very rich, dark red\/brown volcanic soil. The coffee is hand picked when it is bright red and dried in the sun. The parchment is covered at night to protect it from the early morning dew. Due to the remote location of the coffee, the trees have never had exposure to chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and the water for the centralized wet mill is taken from a pristine stream. Getting the coffee from the farms to the world is quite a feat due to the geography and lack of infrastructure. The wet mill is situated about 40 miles as the bird flies south of Goroka, but is a six hour drive in a 4x4 vehicle, or a 25 minute small plane. The roads track the mountain ridges and during the rainy season they become impassable. The coffee is trucked out using 4 wheel drive, tractor \u0026amp; trailer when conditions permit. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are presently 2604 village farmers registered and living amongst the 32 village communities spread over 500 km in the Purosa valley region in the Eastern Highlands. These growers support about 12,000 family members. Coffee is the only cash crop for these producers apart from a few local vegetables. The HOAC members are all village growers who tend their small plots of coffee and individually process in their villages following organic and sustainable agricultural practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOur primary partner in PNG is the exporting company Monpi, and through that company we have sourced coffees from individual washing stations and communities such as Kujin, Namugo, and Ulya, as well as through the FTO-certified cooperative Keto Tepasi, located in the Chivu region. We are actively working toward developing a microlot program in Papua New Guinea, which would allow us to offer individual day lots from the washing stations such as Namugo, and potentially reward farmers for quality while also encouraging them to make investments back into their production, picking, sorting, and facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHISTORY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe anthropological history of PNG is fascinating, but this is a page about coffee, so: Germans and British colonized Papua New Guinea in the 19th century, with the Germans toward the north and Brits in the south, where they planted coffee in and around Port Moresby in order to sell it to the Australian market. In the 1920s, commercial coffee production was increased through the introduction of Typica coffee from Jamaica, a variety commonly known as Blue Mountain. As was common in most coffee-growing areas of the Pacific Islands, most of the coffee production was from a handful of large European- or Australian-owned estates, with labor coming from the local indigenous population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eToday, while there are still estates and plantations, the majority of coffee production comes from smallholder farmers, each with around 1–2 hectares called “gardens” in which they grow small amounts of coffee as well as whatever else a family or community might need for use or sale. Less than 3 percent of the country is used for commercial agriculture, and forest makes up more than 63 percent of Papua New Guinea’s landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCultural differences and conflict are partially responsible for the logistical difficulties of sourcing from PNG: The country’s many indigenous populations are often very distinct from one another in terms of custom and language, and individual communities might comprise only a few hundred people, making communication and the cultural sensitivity required to do business here more difficult than in other coffee-growing regions. Less than 10 percent of the population is connected to or use the Internet for communications, and there are roughly 55 telephones (both fixed-line and cellular) for every 100 people, another impediment when operating within a very digital contemporary global coffee industry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OutOfTheGreyCoffee.com","offers":[{"title":"Regular \/ Whole Bean (Grind Yourself)","offer_id":41178045578,"sku":"","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular \/ Coarse (French Press)","offer_id":41178045642,"sku":"","price":23.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular \/ Medium Coarse (Drip Coffeemaker)","offer_id":41178045706,"sku":"","price":23.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular \/ Medium (Cone-Bottom Filter)","offer_id":41178045770,"sku":"","price":23.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular \/ Medium Fine (K-Cup Pod\/Pour-Over)","offer_id":41178045834,"sku":"","price":23.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular \/ Fine (Espresso Machine)","offer_id":41178045898,"sku":"","price":23.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Regular \/ Extra Fine (Turkish Coffee)","offer_id":41178045962,"sku":"","price":23.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1947\/1527\/files\/engorapapuanewguinea2023.png?v=1687458302"},{"product_id":"eur-o-legend-coffee-blend","title":"Eur O Legend™ - Coffee Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(French Roast Guatemalan Antigua \/ Tanzanian Pea Berry)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTantalizes your taste buds and lingers on the palate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLas Nubes, or \"Cloud\", is a beautiful farm located on the slopes of Volcan Actenango, facing the city of Antigua.
