Where it grows

Volcanic soil. Cool nights. A harvest carried by hand.

In the Eastern and Western Highlands, coffee gardens sit beside food crops on steep, terraced ground. Cherries ripen slowly in the cool mountain air, then travel down narrow roads in bilum bags to be pulped, fermented, and washed within a day of picking.

We work with grower cooperatives in the Goroka and Wahgi Valley districts, paying above the floor price set by the PNG Coffee Industry Corporation, and roast each lot within three weeks of it reaching our roastery.

Our name

The kundu keeps the rhythm of the harvest.

Across Papua New Guinea, the kundu drum calls villages together — for a sing-sing, a wedding, a harvest. We named the company after it because coffee here moves the same way: in waves, season to season, grower to grower, hand to hand down the mountain.

Every bag we ship carries a lot number tracing it back to a district and a picking week, so the rhythm stays visible all the way to your cup.
