WHERE
IS PAPUA NEW GUINEA?
The
island of New Guinea is the largest island in the southern hemisphere apart
from the Australian continent. The eastern half of the island is part of "Papua
New Guinea", an independent state since 1975. The western half of the island,
now known as West Papua is still administered as a province of Indonesia.
Much
of Papua New Guinea's land area remains untouched by industrialization even
up to the present day. Previously unknown tribes who have never had contact
with the outside world are still discovered from time to time. The inland
areas, known as the highlands, remain largely undeveloped apart from agrarian
activities.
Papua
New Guinea is one of the last, vast unspoiled parts of the world where crops
grow magnificently without the use of pesticides or weedicides and where the
soil and water remain free of chemical contamination from industry and population
pressures. Planting, tending and harvesting of crops is done by hand rather
than machinery, which keeps local people employed and hydrocarbon pollutants
out of the fields.
Tea
and coffee have been grown in the highlands of Papua New Guinea since the
1800s, supplying a steady export market. Until recently however, our excellent
quality tea and coffee products have been consumed "anonymously" in other
countries under multinational brand names.
Today,
organically-grown PNG tea and coffee is packed locally under our own brand
names: we want the world to know that the best-tasting tea and coffee comes
from Papua New Guinea. Marketing on the world stage has been difficult due
to stiff competition from established multinationals, but the internet enables
us to make direct contact with importers, wholesalers, retailers, and even
end-consumers (ie tea and coffee drinkers).
Here
at THE PNG TEA POT we supply the best available PNG tea and coffee products
in any quantity, small or large, to customers anywhere in the world by mail
order, air or surface shipment. No matter where you are, here is your chance
to try what we believe is the world's most delicious tea and full-flavored
coffee. Whether it be
- a sample pack for your own kitchen cupboard,
- a trial carton for sale in your gourmet food store, or
- a wholesale order for your distribution network,
THE PNG TEA POT can supply your requirements.
THE
PNG TEA POT is a family-owned, registered small business based in Port Moresby,
the capital of Papua New Guinea. We also own and operate PNG Handcraft
Exports.
