Papua New Guinea Madan Plantation
Madan Plantation is one of the few privately
owned (as opposed to tribally owned) coffee farms in the western highlands of
Papua New Guinea. Once famed as a highly respected and successful farm, it fell
into disuse after a series of misfortunate events and changed ownership. In
2003, a Mongai tribesman bought the plantation and has worked hard to reinstate
it as one of the most treasured coffees to come from this country. Madan
Plantation has a pronounced acidity and earthy, full-bodied flavor. A medium to
dark roast is generally favored for achieving this coffee's peak complexity.

Papua New Guinea Peaberry
By the time Papua New Guinea was granted
independence from Australia in 1975, thousands of little coffee tree gardens
were scattered across the country. Grown by isolated and primitive tribes, these
gardens ranged from a few dozen to a hundred trees. Today, coffee is the
economic backbone of the Papua New Guinea people, and their specialty has gained
immense popularity with coffee lovers across the globe. Typically used for filter-drip coffee, it has a very distinct
stout body and flavor. Perfect for those days when a little extra
relaxation goes
a long way. Enjoy this premium coffee from one of the world's last great
uncharted territories!
