Roast of the MonthAugust 2026
Single origin · Papua New Guinea
PNG Wahgi Mek (Grade A)
Brown sugar · Caramel · Dark chocolate · Stone fruit · Bright, clean finish · Medium roast
Last month's Kenyan microlot was all sparkle — bright, juicy, fruit-forward. This month settles into something richer, with a comeback story in the cup. Wahgi Mek is one of Papua New Guinea's most storied coffee names: established in 1976 in the Wahgi Valley of Jiwaka Province, dormant by the late 1990s, and revived in 2025 to rehabilitate its historic estates and train local smallholder farmers. Typica, Arusha and Bourbon lineage grown at 1,500 to 1,800 metres on volcanic loam, fully washed and sun-dried. Brown sugar and caramel up front, dark chocolate through the middle, a clean, bright finish. Where the Kenya danced, this one has depth. Roasted to order in NSW, this month only.
