With high-altitude farms, nutrient-rich volcanic soil, and traditional processing methods, PNG coffee delivers a complex yet smooth experience that appeals to adventurous coffee drinkers.
At Spectra Coffee, we proudly bring premium Papua New Guinea coffee beans, freshly roasted for Canadian coffee lovers seeking rich, vibrant flavors.
Coffee-Growing Regions & Processing Methods
