Quonnie (Papua New Guinea) Coffee

This coffee is a nod to our local beach community (Quonochontaug) located at our original Dave's Coffee bar.

Our Papua New Guinea coffee offers a unique flavor profile that coffee lovers can't resist. Sourced from the lush highlands of Papua New Guinea, this coffee boasts a rich, full-bodied taste with notes of caramel and chocolate, accented by a subtle nutty finish.

The single origin Papua New Guinea makes for a crowd-pleasing coffee. It makes a fantastic drip coffee and a fresh iced.

The story of coffee in Papua New Guinea is unlike any other origin.  Roads are often nonexistent, communities are incredibly remote, and most coffee is grown casually in gardens alongside a family’s food supply. In fact, 99 percent of coffee is grown by individuals with an average farm size of .83 hectares and an average production of 10 bags per year.

Without access to mills, these producers pulp, ferment, wash and dry their own coffee, selling small volumes of parchment. Additionally, due to the extreme lack of access, coffee often makes it to exporters through roadside collections or aggregator pickups. This means the large lots of coffee we see exported are in fact the accumulation of many, untraceable micro-volumes which have been combined for processing.

Small bits of stone or concrete may be found in patio dried coffee. Check carefully to avoid damage to grinders.
