Frequently Bought Together
Papua New Guinea has a unique coffee story. Originally planted in the 1920s with seeds from Jamaica’s legendary Blue Mountain Typica, PNG coffee has since developed its own distinct character. While large plantations still exist, today around 85% of PNG’s coffee comes from smallholder farmers who grow coffee in their household “coffee gardens.” These small plots, often just a few dozen trees alongside food crops, reflect PNG’s rich farming tradition and community-based production.
This B Grade lot from the Western Highlands is grown at around 1,600 masl and features a mix of traditional varieties such as Arusha, Bourbon, Mundo Novo, Catimor, and Caturra. The beans are washed, then sun- or machine-dried, producing a clean and vibrant cup.
In the cup: Expect aromas of roasted nuts, cocoa, prunes, and dark spices. Flavours of caramel and roasted nuts shine through, with a long cocoa nib aftertaste. Bright citric acidity and a medium, rounded body create a balanced, enjoyable coffee that is both approachable and versatile.
Ideal for medium to medium-dark roasts, bringing out either its fruity brightness or deeper chocolatey tones.

B Grade: It simply means the beans are a bit smaller or may have a few more natural imperfections than higher grades. The flavour is still excellent but at a more affordable price. That makes B Grade a fantastic choice for home roasters who want delicious coffee without paying premium prices.
Customers said these green coffee beans work well for home roasting and have become a favorite. Some noted the beans tend toward the sweet side when roasted at lighter levels. Overall positive feedback with a 4-star rating, indicating good quality for the price point.
Used the explore at l3.2 has become fav bit on sweet side
Seems okay and we will be mixing with Colombia Medellin and El Salvador beans.
These beans add more sweetness to our blend of these plus Brazil Cerrado and Colombie Medalin. We add a third of each to our blend and have found this mixture perfect for our tast.
A very strong bean with good flavour that we like. We have also purchased Brazil Cerado and El Salvador Minto beans and by blending all three together in exact proportions we have a very smooth mix.
Medicinal. I ground fine and moca potted with a Bialeti. Not what I expected.
Good beans. Dry. Well packed in vacuum bags. Prompt delivery.
Excellent taste.
