Some of the best Papua New Guinean coffees are processed at the Kongo washing station.
This a classic washed coffee from Simbu. Cherries are delivered to Kongo’s washing station daily during harvest. This lot is their B grade which makes for a particularly balanced and extremely sweet espresso.

They only buy coffees from Simbu, they only buy coffee in parchment, they pay the highest price per kilo in the region, cash in hand, with an even higher premium for quality, they employ up to 150 local people during peak season, and keep their own pickers employed throughout the year, securing a living wage to every employee.
