Understated Sweetness revealed in Organic Papua New Guinea Simbu
February 16th, 2012
The allure of coffee from Papua New Guinea is not well recognized. Papua New Guinea, after all, is not easy to find on a map and one of the least known coffee producers. Maybe that’s why we call it specialty coffee. If everyone were offering it, it won’t be special!
This unique coffee had our full attention since the very first cupping. If you like the earthiness of Sumatra coffee you will enjoy this sweeter, fruitier profile of an old favorite.
Offered by the Tribal Aromas Co-operative in the Simbu Province of the Central Highlands of Papua New Guinea, this coffee is grown at higher altitudes in rich, black volcanic soil. The Tribal Aroma co-op is a collection of indigenous tribes whom pride themselves on small subsistence plot farms, where coffee is specially hand-picked and hand-pulped. Organically grown and certified.
Flavor Profile: complex fruit notes with distinctive grapefruit nuances, cedar aroma, chocolate finish.
Roast: Combination light and dark
We’ve secured of small lot of Organic Papua New Guinea for a limited time. Find this earthy, richly sweet coffee at area grocery stores, cafes and espresso bars serving organic Cravens Coffee.

Coffee changes the world. It can help coffee farmers in developing countries earn a fair wage. It offers millions of people a moment of pleasure every morning. And it gives us a chance to support organizations in our corner of the world working to make things a little better.
Survivor Blend is this month’s Cravens Community Coffee. Proceeds from the sale of this special blend support the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s noble, tireless campaign to find a cure for breast cancer.
Survivor Blend is an organic fair-trade coffee with a buttery upfront flavor and bold, rich finish. This unique blend combines rich full-flavored Sumatra and fruity Ethiopia origins, featuring a remarkable Nicaragua from a women-operated co-op in formerly war-torn Segovia. We honor these women from Segovia as fellow survivors.
