Coffee from Papua New Guinea |
Papua New Guinea |
|
| One of the last countries to take up coffee-growing. Papua New Guinea has achieved remarkable success in only about 40 years of commercial growth, attaining 1.07 per cent of total world production. Its coffees, almost all arabicas, were cultivated from good varieties, the original coming from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica; they give well-rounded, acidic and fragrant cups. The Robusta is all grown and exported to meet the demands of the Australian market. Whether the devastation of the tidal wave of 1998 will cause long-term damage to any coffee-growing areas remains to be seen. | |
