Most PNG coffee comes from small farms at high altitudes. Here’s why its quality varies and how it’s improving.

Papua New Guinea might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of specialty coffee—but it should be. Over three-quarters of its coffee is grown on tiny, often isolated plots carved from dense jungle, many reachable only on foot. These remote highland farms sit between 1,300 and 1,800 meters above sea level, where the air is cool and the conditions ideal for slow cherry development. Yet despite these advantages, the country’s coffee has seen wild swings in quality—and reputation—over the past few decades. What’s really behind PNG coffee, and why does it matter?
