PAPUA NEW GUINEA - LAMARI - WASHED

Selected by a professional Quality Control team in origin, this Lamari washed has ben sourced from a vast network of coffee farms in the Lamari River Valley.
The remarkable quality of this coffee is a direct result of years of extension services and work with smallholder producer groups on improving picking, pulping, sorting, fermentation and drying practices.

Smallholders grow, process and dry their coffee before delivering it as parchment to a collection station at the coffee mill. Only the best quality lots are sourced, before being hulled, graded and prepared for export.

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a relative newcomer to the specialty coffee scene. The remote locations of the nation’s smallholders—who produce 85% of total coffee in the country combined with historically poor infrastructure has made the transition to specialty difficult.

Nonetheless, the country is working towards innovative solutions in order to achieve better quality coffee and improved livelihoods for the nation’s smallholder coffee producers.
