Kinmuga coffees come from smallholders in the southern Wahgi Valley, near the Anglimp and Kindeng districts. Known as "the food bowl of PNG," this fertile area, surrounded by an extinct volcano, benefits from nutrient-rich soils and proximity to the Wara Tuman river.
Farmers sell their cherries at the Kindeng wet mill, where they are pulped, fermented, and processed to parchment coffee, then sent to the Kagamuga dry mill for final processing. The combination of the mill names “Kindeng” and “Kagamuga” form the coffee's namesake. Since 2018, the mill has incorporated a wastewater digester, making the pulping and fermentation process more environmentally friendly.
This is our second year working with Kinmuga Coffee, imported by our long-time partners, Benchmark Coffee Traders. We're thrilled to offer this natural processed coffee from PNG, a region traditionally known for washed coffees. Natural processing has gained popularity in specialty coffee for its bold, fruit-forward flavors and its positive environmental impact, using less water and reducing wastewater pollution. This offering is just a glimpse of exciting future releases from PNG.
