If you know someone who thinks they’ve tasted all the world’s coffee highlights, Papua New Guinea might still surprise them. The rugged highlands of Chimbu Province produce some of the most intriguing coffees from the Pacific Islands, and this Papua New Guinea A – Chimbu Anaerobic Natural is a bold example of that terroir at work.
Unlike the washed coffees most people are familiar with, this lot undergoes anaerobic fermentation — a process where the cherries are fermented in a sealed environment before drying. This encourages deeper, more concentrated fruit character to develop in the bean itself, pushing the flavor beyond what you’d expect from traditional washed processing.
What you get in the cup are vibrant notes of blueberry and ripe blackberry with pronounced sweetness and intensitythat stand out in every sip. This coffee is rich and expressive, capturing the unique volcanic soils and high-elevation growing conditions of Chimbu’s steep mountain farms.
Papua New Guinea coffee isn’t light and floral in the classic sense — it’s deeper, fruitier, and uniquely Pacific in its sweetness and body. Whether brewed as a filter coffee or espresso, this anaerobic lot delivers a memorable, fruit-forward experience that’s both bold and balanced
