The production itself can be traced back to the importation and planting of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee seeds in the 1920s, which has created some nice varieties in later plant generations across the islands. Papa New Guinea is home to many smaller scale producers and exports coffees that are usually well-balanced and fruity.
