New Guinea

Peet's Coffee & Tea

Mellow and aromatically complex. Full body, moderate acidity, broad flavor. In our opinion, one of the world's best coffees.

New Guinea is Earth's second-largest island. It lies just north of Australia and is divided down the center between the country of Papua New Guinea (on the east) and Indonesia's Irian Jaya province (on the west).

Our New Guinea coffee comes from Papua New Guinea, where cultivation started in 1937 with seeds imported from Jamaica's Blue Mountain region. Rich volcanic soil and some of the most ideal climatic conditions combine to produce a mild and mellow yet aromatically complex coffee that we consider one of the world's best. Its completeness—good body, moderate acidity and broad flavor—suggests old-style Jamaica Blue Mountain before the huge expansion of planting there with the high-yield, less flavorful varietals.
