Simbai Balus Kopi (Simbai Airplane Coffee) comes from the Simbai region, just over the Bismarck Range that borders the Western Highlands Province and Sepik Province. All PNG green coffee from Simbai is transported via plane. For some Simbai Farmers it takes over a days journey to get to an airfield, where their coffee can reach the global market.  PNG smallholders process the cherries at home with hand-powered pulpers, ferment the beans for about 36 hours before washing off the mucilage and setting them out to dry.

Specialty PNG coffee is well-balanced with mellow flavors, moderate acidity, and a full-bodied, buttery quality.

NOTE: Roasted to order.  Orders will be roasted Saturday-Sunday and shipped that following Monday.
