Papua New Guinea Kenta coffee is sourced from the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea, specifically the region of Goroka. Known for its mountainous topography and incredible cultural diversity, Papua New Guinea's coffee production is unique due to its decentralized approach, with many "coffee gardens" being small plots managed by indigenous communities. Coffee is the country's second-largest agricultural export, grown across approximately 210,000 acres.

The Kenta coffee is an A-grade offering from the NGHCE, grown on the outskirts of the town of Goroka at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level. The coffee cherries are handpicked by local clans and pulped on the same day. The beans undergo a fermentation process in cement vats for 36 hours and are then washed with fresh mountain stream water from the nearby Tua River. Finally, the beans are sun-dried for 7-12 days, resulting in a beautiful bluish colour. This meticulous processing ensures a high-quality cup with clean, consistent flavours.
