New Guinea Arona

One of the most distinguished Papua New Guinea coffees, Arona exhibits a modestly rich taste, comfortably rich, with a fruity aroma and generally well-balanced.

Characteristics of New Guinea Arona Coffee

New Guinea coffee is often full-bodied, and sometimes earthy, though not quite as full-bodied as a Sumatran coffee or as aromatic as a fine Sulawesi Toraja, nor with the acidity of a Toraja, though often just as fruity and with a classic, pleasantly exotic taste.

Neither does it have the acidity level of a Toraja. New Guinea coffees are wet processed (washed) coffees.

Coffee Growing in Papua New Guinea

New Guinea coffee is grown in the mountain highlands of Papua New Guinea, mostly on small plantations that are sometimes called peasant patches because peasants cultivate the coffee plants.

In recent times Arona has been valued slightly higher in coffee markets than Sigri, which is another fine New Guinea coffee. Also see New Guinea Sigri Coffee; Papua New Guinea Coffee; New Guinea Kimel Coffee.
