In March 2005 the 2,600 growers were accepted into the global Fair Trade organization; their co-operative is managed by Coffee Connections. With PNG rural areas suffering under the absence of infrastructure maintenance and development due to a shortage of government funds, life in the village had become difficult due to the lack of infrastructure which meant that villagers had a huge problem in getting cash crops to market.

These growers are innovative people and the idea of forming a co-operative society was inspired by the village elders who, seeing that their people were struggling, arranged an initial collection of funds in the form of a small head tax to build up cash to carry out essential road maintenance. The idea grew into a registered co-operative group supported by Coffee Connections Limited to take charge over their destiny, even if only in a small way.

The Eastern Highlands Province was first developed as an important coffee region in the early 1980’s when seedlings of the Arabica coffee species Typica, bourbon and arusha were planted extensively in villages and in the two main plantations making up the Purosa group. The Purosa area has been certified organic for coffee since 1991. The rich volcanic soil and plentiful rainfall and sunlight provide excellent growing conditions for this coffee.

Bababudan Giris is the birth place of coffee in India; history has it that it all began with a long and arduous journey around four hundred years ago when the legendary saint Bababudan brought seven magical beans from distant Yemen and planted them in the Chandragiri hills of Karnataka.

The sensations of aroma, flavour, body and acidity that you enjoy is rooted in these mystical beginnings; it is often said, the Indian coffee grower pours his life into the crop. Is it any wonder then that India has consistently produced and exported a remarkable variety of high-quality coffees for over one hundred and fifty years!

India cultivates all of its coffee under a well-defined two-tier mixed shade canopy, comprising evergreen leguminous trees. Nearly 50 different types of shade trees are found in coffee plantations. Shade trees prevent soil erosion on a sloping terrain; they enrich the soil by recycling nutrients from deeper layers, protect the coffee plant from seasonal fluctuations in temperature, and play host to diverse flora and fauna. Coffee plantations in India are essential spice worlds too: a wide variety of spices and fruit crops like pepper, cardamom, vanilla, orange and banana grow alongside coffee plants.
