Papua New Guinea is located in the eastern part of the Indonesian archipelago. Papua New Guinea, which is dominated by highlands, coexists with large plantations/farms and small farmers, growing a variety of coffee varieties. Papua New Guinea coffee flavor is very different from coffee in other Asian regions such as Indonesia, South Asia India or Pacific islands; washed Papua New Guinea coffee always has a brighter, more acidic expression, similar to the flavor of Central American coffee, compared to the low acidity, rich texture and soil tone exhibited by Indonesian beans (Sumatra, Sulawesi) that are mostly semi-washed (wet stripped). Large plantations often have their own washing plants, and smaller individual coffee farmers are more able to control the quality and flavor of their output.

Chimel Estate, located in the Wiki Valley of the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea near the Kimel Valley, like many large farms/estates has its own washing plant, but in fact it is owned by a number of independent small coffee farmers of the surrounding Opais ethnic group. In a sense, it is a private cooperative. Due to the excellent growing conditions and stable quality control process of the processing plant, the coffee produced has a lively bright feeling and retains a considerable degree of flavor uniqueness of Papua New Guinea coffee.

Another peculiarity is that the variety of coffee varieties grown by Chimaier cannot even be counted on one hand: Typica, Arusha, Blue Mountain, Catimor, Caturra…and more-in fact, just as they do not put eggs in the same basket, most farmers actually plant different varieties to avoid the risk of a particular variety failing to grow or producing less than expected, and to create interesting expressions of coffee flavor characteristics.
