Papua New Guinea is considered to be one of the least developed countries in the world, and its coffee industry is made up of tens of thousands of small village plantations. Coffee is Papua New Guineas most valuable agricultural export, the majority of the small village farmers are based in the Western and Eastern Highlands.

As you can see to the right, the green coffee beans look "interesting", compared to a uniform colour and size from say a Brazilian plantation - these beans from Papua New Guinea are in a mixed range of sizes and include mottled and dark beans. This is reflective of the beans coming from many small plantations, who all grow and process the coffee in their own way - and then it is combined to form exportable sacks of coffee.

Once roasted the beans look a whole lot better, Papua New Guinea coffee is full bodied, with fruity notes and can also be a little earthy. It is popular to use in blends because of its body, which can lift up more delicate coffees.

Grinding it into the Aerobie Aeropress, my ground coffee brewer of choice - the grounds give off a fantastic aroma before we even add hot water.

Adding hot water produces a bright, colourful crust as the grounds infuse with the water, bubbling up to the top of the Aeropress as the grounds coffee gives off carbon dioxide.

And the result is a delicious cup of coffee, I really like Papua New Guinea coffee, it is quite sweet and fruity while still having a background earthy taste - unique and very enjoyable.

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return the favour. Other then spending all my free time commenting on Steemit posts, I also distribute coffee roasting machines and also espresso coffee machines and roast my own Speciality Coffee Range. being one of the premium coffee suppliers Yorkshire including a wide range of filter coffee sachets
