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 at Benchmark Coffee Traders. The Kinmuga PB is a washed coffee that reflects the traditional processing methods Papua New Guinea is known for. This lot showcases the intensity and balanced profile that has long defined the region and continues to make PNG a standout in specialty coffee.
