Our coffee has been sourced from the Okapa area in Papua New Guinea. This region is a picturesque area of the Eastern Highlands Province, and the pairing of high rainfall and rich volcanic soils results in ideal growing conditions for coffee.

Coffee is the number one cash crop in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Nearly half of Papua New Guinea's total population depend on income from coffee crops and local, registered companies from the Okapa Area are involved in growing and buying Okapa Coffee in parchment form. Due to the remoteness of the region, the coffee is then air freighted out to the nearest town for processing prior to shipment.

After its introduction to PNG in the late 19th century, coffee is a major industry for PNG involving more than 2.5 million people which equates to nearly half of the total population. Today the country exports approximately 1 million bags of coffee annually.

This single origin presents a full-bodied mouthfeel with tasting notes of dried apricot, milk chocolate & cinnamon. We recommend having this coffee as an espresso and it pairs nicely with both plant based and dairy milk.
