In the early part of the 20th Century,
Papua New Guinea became part of the British Commonwealth
and Blue Mountain Caffea Arabica derivative plants
from Jamaica were shipped to New Guinea.
There, shrouded in mist in the Owen Stanley Mountain
Range on New Guinea’s majestic Elimbari Mountain
at 8,000 ft (2,400 metres) above sea level, a new
and distinctive coffee began to emerge. The plants,
from Jamaica Blue Mountain derivatives, were established
by British Commonwealth planters in 1937.
Over the next 70 years a special coffee began to develop
in what must be considered the world’s most
perfect coffee garden. |
