Over 600 farms and small producers contribute cherry to the Ulya Wet Coffee Mill. The Waghi Valley is encircled by steep mountains and pristine forests surrounding the Kuli area. It is known for its fertile land. This region is recognized as one of the world's most advanced farming areas thousands of years ago. They proudly carry that history into their high-quality coffee production today.
Shortly after PNG’s independence, a large area of the old Ulya plantation was handed back to traditional landowners. Most of these farms today are well-managed and are prominent suppliers of high-quality cherry to the Ulya Mill. The Ulya plantation area grows a mix of Typica and Arusha varieties that enjoy dark, volcanic sandy loam soils.
At the mill, coffee cherries are often wet-processed by being depulped, fermented for 24 to 36 hours, and then washed and dried. Some coffees are natural-processed, where cherries are sundried and then hulled.
This washed lot delivers comforting and warming notes of cocoa, burnt sugars and spice: perfect for the cool fall mornings ahead!
