KINMUGA- Ruby Red Grapefruit · Sesame · Muscovado Sugar

Kinmuga coffees come from a network of smallholders in the southern Waghi Valley, an area known as the “food bowl of PNG” for its fertile volcanic soil and long agricultural history. Nestled at 1,600 meters above sea level and surrounded by an extinct volcano, the valley benefits from nutrient-rich deposits carried by the Wara Tuman River. Smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherries to the Kindeng wet mill for pulping, fermentation, and processing into parchment before being transported to the Kagamuga dry mill in Hagen. Since 2018, Kindeng has utilized an environmentally friendly wastewater digester, ensuring sustainable coffee production. The combination of high-altitude tropical climate, nutrient-rich soil, and careful processing contributes to the distinctive quality of Kinmuga coffees.

Living Income Pricing 

80% of the world’s coffee farmers live below the poverty line and current prices paid to farmers do not meet farmers’ livelihood needs. This coffee was purchased using Bellwether’s Living Income Pricing benchmark which ensures that coffee producers were paid a fair, sustainable wage. By purchasing this coffee you’re helping interrupt poverty among coffee farmers by paying a price that closes the living income gap. 

Farmer Impact Fund

Bellwether’s Farmer Impact Fund further invests in coffee communities through direct balloon payments to producers who have autonomy to use the money on community and farm-level projects. By adding a small surcharge to your green coffee purchase, these funds are directly distributed to farmers, providing a direct connection between you and your customers to the lives of producers for the first time in the coffee industry.
