PLANTATION-INFO
Founded in 1950, this farm is located in the Waghi Valley, which offers the perfect climate for coffee cultivation. Only the finest Arabica varieties such as Arusha and Typica are cultivated on the Sigri plantation. These plants produce a finer bean than other Arabica in Papua New Guinea. The beans already undergo a quality audit when being picked by hand, as they are carefully chosen according to homogeneity. The selected cherries are already cut on the day of the harvest, fermented and then washed in a process taking three days. Followed by drying in the sun, a careful hulling and sorting by hand.
PARTICULARITIES
Successful cultivation of coffee only started in the 1930s in Papua New Guinea when beans were smuggled to the country from Jamaica. Nowadays, however, the coffee sector is one of the most important of the country. Mainly Arabica is cultivated on plantations run by smallholders and family-run businesses. The coffee is picked by hand and dried in the sun. Its taste is comparable to that of the Jamaica Blue Mountain. Unusual notes of smoke, leaves and moss are in harmony with a natural sweetness.
