Our trademark “Kula” coffees are exclusive to Benchmark and refer to special processing guidelines that are followed specifically for our coffees. All coffees bearing the “Kula” name are dried on raised beds and go through two rounds of color-sorts and two rounds of hand-sorts. This extra processing creates one of the cleanest PNG coffees being produced today.
Kula is the name of a ceremonial gift exchange in Papua New Guinea. Core elements center around honor and integrity. This ceremony highlights different underlying values in the gift versus the commodity economy. In this way, specialty coffee has distinguished itself from commodity coffee. We value to our people, process, and coffees differently in the new world of specialty coffee. It is our gift to you.
