Arufa Natural Grade A ML

Patience, tradition, and craftsmanship define coffee production in Papua New Guinea's Western Highlands. This naturally processed lot is produced by the Kindeng smallholder farmer network, whose commitment to quality has made Arufa Natural a standout coffee for more than a decade.

Coffee is grown in the remote Arufa and Kindeng regions at elevations between 1,520 and 1,770 meters above sea level. Surrounded by rugged mountains and cultivated on small family-owned "coffee gardens," these farms continue a coffee-growing tradition that began during the region's earliest days of cultivation. Most producers manage less than one hectare, with every stage of production, from harvesting to processing, carried out entirely by hand.

Only ripe cherries are selectively harvested before being carefully sun-dried for nearly a month, allowing the fruit's natural sugars to develop complexity and sweetness. Once dried, the coffee is delivered to the Kagauga dry mill for final preparation before export, preserving the exceptional quality established by the producers throughout the process.

The result is a naturally processed coffee that reflects the dedication of Papua New Guinea's smallholder farmers, rich, expressive, and full of the vibrant character that has made the Western Highlands one of the country's most respected coffee-growing regions.
