More from the importer:
Papua New Guinea has long been relegated to “blender coffee” status for many in the American specialty coffee industry. This is for a variety of reasons including supply chain challenges at origin, the limited pool of quality-focused producers, and, notably, the lack of exposure to great PNG for many roasters.
All of this created a sort of viscous cycle of where the limited supply of high quality PNG created a lack of demand for high quality PNG which, in turn, created a lack of interest for producers to create high quality PNG coffees. Benchmark focuses on representing the best of PNG, produced with higher processing standards by people who are committed to quality. As we have found growing interest in our top grade PNGs over the years, our produce-partners’ interest in experimenting has also grown.
Four years ago, our partners at Sigri Estate began identifying some of the different varieties of coffee found on their land. While the predominant variety was known to be Typica, there were other varieties, found in smaller quantities, that were aggregated together with the Typica in processing. One of these varieties was Maragogype, the “elephant coffee bean” and was believed to be a spontaneous mutation of Typica. Our partners began propagating the Maragogype, and three years ago, this variety was planted in a microlot of its very own. For the first time ever, we’re honored to present a very limited first-run of “Big Red,” as it has been named.”
We are proud to ride along on the journey of Papua New Guinea, as recognition grows for this origin and the potential that lies ahead. We feel that Big Red is a great representation of this journey and we hope you enjoy it!”
