When everything aligns perfectly
Those working in the coffee industry for a long time will already know that Papua New Guinea has an esteemed reputation for producing excellent coffee.
An origin of remarkable potential that is sometimes challenged or wasted by adverse weather conditions or a lack of appropriate infrastructure and economic investment.
There can also be bureaucratic government and stubborn highland rules holding back the incredible potential for PNG to take a leadership position in the global coffee industry.
Despite the difficult conditions, we have always supported premium PNG coffees since our journey in coffee started 38 years ago.
So significant is our interest in PNG coffee that we have strategic initiatives for sourcing the best available PNG coffees.
It's our trademark or signature - our fingerprint and DNA of coffee.
Why PNG coffee is amazing
Most coffee varietals grown in PNG are from the esteemed Jamacia Blue Mountain. These are rich coffees with exceptional flavour, body and rounded finish.
The coffee industry in Australia has developed its taste for coffee over the past 80 years, mainly due to the influence of Papua New Guinea coffees.
Since 2008, we have sourced the best available coffees from PNG - grown at high altitudes in the Simbu Provence.
These coffees are extremely clean, rich and full bodies with exceptional complexity and a wonderful caramel and chocolate finish.
These coffees shine in any situation, as a plunger, stovetop or espresso.
Our PNG specialty-grade coffees are the most balanced and rounded offering within our broad portfolio and a level above anything else available in the Australian coffee market.

Tips -
light, medium or dark
Each coffee in our store has a unique roast profile carefully engineered and continuously updated to achieve the best balance of flavor, body, complexity, acidity, sweetness and finish.
It's a never-ending process with new lots arriving almost weekly along with the constantly changing Melbourne weather conditions.
We don't use light, medium or dark as our guide. That's so outdated and quite frankly inaccurate with around 20 shades each of light, medium and dark.
The external or outside color is never a true indicator of a coffee's cup attributes (or performance).
In other words, coffee can appear dark outside but have under-developed internals (sour, flat, weak, thin, etc.) if it was roasted poorly.
Similarly, a light exterior can easily mask or hide internal scorching or invalid roasting profile.
The target for all of our coffees (excluding specific filter roast products that are intentionally roasted lighter) is medium.
Think cafe style and coffee that is best suitable for espresso or traditional brewing devices.
What's critically important to us is that we extract maximum goodness for you to enjoy.
After 20 years and hundreds of thousands of batches, we think our Tier 1 infrastructure, skills and experience surpass the market.
Ground coffee
Ground coffee will lose around 80% of essential vitality after 15 minutes oxygen exposure. Even ground coffee inside of a sealed, unopened bag will stale considerably within 2 weeks.
Some brewing applications, such as espresso, require roasted coffee in peak freshness to produce a delicious extraction. Other brew methods are less sensitive to the impact of staling coffee.
To ensure freshness, we never hold, store or manufacture any ground coffees. All our coffees are packed as whole beans within 1hr of roasting to lock in freshness.
When a customer orders ground coffee, we take fresh roasted beans, cut the seal, grind, clean and re-seal within 60 seconds. All at the moment your order is packed for dispatch.
We recommend for the best coffee experience to consider purchasing whole beans and grind only enough to brew just moments beforehand.
