“This coffee can be fully traced; we know the farmers who produced it, the garden where it was cultivated, and the methods used throughout its processing. By drinking this conservation coffee, you directly support Yus Conservation Area’s usual landowners and their efforts to protect Papua New Guinea’s incredible forests,” said Trevor Holbrook, TKCP senior program Manager.

This deforestation-free coffee preserves forest habitat for PNG’s threatened Matschie’s wooden nestures that are not found anywhere else on the planet. The people of the YUS communities that worked with the Zoo’s TKCP promised their own usual country to create their country’s first conservation area.

“Our coffee gardens serve as a place where animals and birds can feed and manufacture their homes. My coffee garden houses all kinds of bird species, including Bowerbird, who likes the shade and came to build its nest here,” said Herson Hame, Yus Coffee Farmer.

TKCP helps farmers connect to burners like Caffe Vita to strengthen sustainable livelihoods. Now farmers can invest in their children’s futures and steward the next generation of conservation leaders.

Farmers grow the coffee in the shade of wood canopy in family gardens; Thus, farmers eliminate the need to log as with many coffee coffee with sun -grown or plantation. Shade-cultivated coffee also matures slower than plantation-cultivated coffee and develops complex flavors such as the red apple, milk chocolate and nougat notes in this brew.
