With 600 islands just below the equator, Papua New Guinea (PNG) has high mountains, tropical rain forests, verdant plains, and sandy beaches. The farms that grow the "coffee gardens" adhere to organic farming methods. 

Coffees grown in Kainantu + Obura Wonenara are processed as is typical among smallholders in PNG: cherry is picked and hand-pulped on site, and then fermented dry in small plastic tubs or bags, often for as long as 48 hours to achieve the necessary mucilage degradation in a very small batch. Clean water is used to wash the fermented parchment, which is then dried on a combination of ground tarps and, more frequently, raised screen beds.
