Our Coffee Journey
Kummul Coffee: The Journey from Tree to Cup
Introduction
Welcome to Kummul Coffee, where every bean tells a story of passion, quality, and sustainability. Nestled in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, our coffee journey begins at 4000 meters above sea level and ends in the cups of specialty coffee enthusiasts worldwide. We invite Specialty Green Coffee importers to partner with us and experience the unparalleled excellence of Kummul Coffee.
1. Sustainable Cultivation
High-Altitude Estates
Our coffee is grown in the pristine Highlands of Papua New Guinea, benefiting from the rich volcanic soil and ideal climate conditions. Our own and leased estates, along with our affiliated plantations and smallholder farmers, follow sustainable and organic farming practices.
Eco-Friendly Farming
Kummul Coffee is committed to environmental stewardship. Our growers employ eco-friendly techniques, such as shade-grown coffee, natural composting, and water conservation, ensuring the health of our land and the quality of our beans.
2. Ethical Sourcing
Supporting Smallholders
We work closely with small block holder farmers, providing them with training, resources, and fair compensation. This partnership ensures a steady supply of high-quality cherries and fosters community development.
Fair Trade Practices
Our commitment to ethical sourcing extends to fair trade practices, ensuring that all our farmers receive equitable payment and work under safe conditions. This guarantees a positive impact on their livelihoods and the sustainability of our supply chain.
3. Meticulous Processing
Hand-Picking
Our cherries are carefully hand-picked at peak ripeness to ensure only the best make it through to the next stage. This labour-intensive process allows us to maintain the highest quality standards.
Wet Processing
The freshly harvested cherries undergo meticulous wet processing. They are pulped, fermented, washed, and sun-dried, preserving the unique flavour profiles of our beans. Our stringent quality control measures ensure that every batch meets our exacting standards.
Curing
The dried beans are hulled, polished, graded, and sorted. They undergo rigorous inspection to remove defects and ensure uniformity. Samples are roasted and cupped by trained Q-graders to confirm the beans' exceptional quality.
4. Expert Packaging and Shipping
Protective Packaging
Our green coffee beans are packed in 60kg jute bags lined with Grain Pro or similar material to preserve their freshness. Each bag is labelled with detailed information about origin, grade, and lot number.
Global Shipping
We ship our coffee in 20-foot and 40-foot containers to destinations worldwide. Our all-inclusive pricing covers shipping, handling, insurance, and freight, ensuring a seamless delivery process.
