Papua New Guinea Kindeng Mill

This coffee is from the Kindeng Dry Mill, located in the Jikawa province of Papua New Guinea. It is a blend of coffee purchased in cherry from about 1500 multiple smallholders located in the Kindeng and Arufa municipalities. The majority of coffee production comes from smallholder farmers, each with around 1–2 hectares called “gardens” in which they grow small amounts of coffee as well as whatever else a family or community might need for use or sale.

For this coffee, ripe cherries are placed on raised beds and canvasses immediately after they are received at the dry mill. They are moved multiple times a day throughout the average 1 month drying process to ensure an even and uniform average moisture content across the lot. Once the coffee is adequately dried, it is placed into bags and stored in a cool and dry warehouse, hulled, milled, and prepped for export.

Ethiopia Banko Gotiti

The Banko Gotiti cooperative was founded in 2012 and has about 300 members, who grow a mix of heirloom Ethiopian varieties of coffee.

Most coffee is shade-grown by small producers using organic practices. The majority of Ethiopia’s farmers are smallholders and sustenance farmers, with less than 1 hectare of land apiece. Coffees are cultivated from 1600 to 2400 masl in these highlands.

Unlike the vast majority of coffee-growing countries, the coffee plant was not introduced to Ethiopia as a cash crop. Instead, growing, processing, and drinking coffee is part of the everyday way of life, and has been for centuries since the trees were discovered growing wild in forests and eventually cultivated for household use and commercial sale.
