This particular coffee is a naturally processed from the Sigri Estate, which is quite rare and difficult to do in the extremely humid climate of Papua New Guinea.
However, producer has worked for years to make it possible. This lot brings out extremely juicy and tropical forward flavors which are very rare to find from this origin.
The Sigri Estate employs a medium density shade strategy, using two types of shade trees: Albiza, Casuarina. This promotes even ripening of coffee cherries.
Quality Control begins in the field. Cherries are hand-picked and carefully checked for гniformity. It must be red only and fully ripe which allows for the correct balance of sugar and acid within the cherry.
After sun-drying, the coffees are carefully conditioned for 21 days.
This is followed by destoning, hulling, grading, densitometric sorting, color sorting, and finally hand sorting.
