Arkau Coffee which collects cherry and parchment in Obura-Wonenara district of the Eastern Highlands province, where much high-quality coffee is grown in Papua New Guinea. Primarily sourcing from the Tairora-Gadsup, Yellia and Lamari local-level government groups (LLGs), Arkau serves a vital role as a collector in transporting coffee from the remote, mountainous areas where they are grown and bringing them to market.
PNG's Eastern Highlands range in altitude between 1,700 and 2,000masl and are known for their cool temperatures which allows for a longer cherry maturation on the tree, which typically translates to the development of more complex flavour compounds in the final cup.
