Sigri coffee plantation, located in the Waghi Valley in the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea was established over 50 years ago and rapidly gained the reputation for producing the finest Arabic coffee in the country.

Their quality control begins in the field. Cherry coffee is hand-picked and is painstakingly checked for uniformity. It must be red and fully ripe which is necessary to obtain the correct balance of sugar and acid within the cherry. The selected cherries are then pulped on the same day of picking. The fermentation process follows with a period of three days broken every 24 hours by washing. Unlike most other coffees, the Sigri process follows this by total immersion in water for an extra day. This creates an amazingly superior coffee. Sun drying further enhances the coffee and, unlike many other green coffees from this region all Sigri coffee is dun dried.

his reputation has continued to grow and Sigri has been internationally recognized as producing a gourmet coffee, equal to the world’s best, for more than 20 years.

At almost 1550 meters above sea level, the plantation has a cool climate with plentiful rainfall; the ideal environment for growing high quality Arabica coffee. All plantings at the estate are exclusively Arabica, concentrating on the Arusha and Typica varieties which produce a superior coffee than many other Arabicas in Papua New Guinea. The beans we will have in stock within two days are new crop and a are unusually dense beans for green coffee from this region(this is a good thing).

Next, from the Antigua region of Guatemala, “Carrizal” from Louis Pedro. In its green coffee form, the coffee appears to be a mix of different farming areas. We’re not sure about this (not yet anyway), but it cups well. Characteristics include: medium intensity dry aroma, lemon-honey flavor becoming more chocolaty at darker roasts (as would be expected from a coffee from this region). Pleasing, moderate lingering aftertaste.

We’ll have both of these green coffee selections added to our green coffee offering page within a day or so. Please check back!

Cupping Notes: lots of Almond with hints of berry (between blueberry and boysenberry). Chocolate, butternut.

We are happy to have received several Indian coffees earlier this week. Including the Malibar, we also now have a monsooned robusta; a very interesting coffee that we are having lots of fun with as we cup it and are using it for blend development. Quality robustas are often used in Spanish and Italian espressos (pretty much “European espressos” for that matter). As of this writing, our web master, Valic, has not posted this Monsooned Robusta on our green coffee bean offering page yet!!! Expect it very soon though.

Also incoming is a very nice, India Mysore Nuggets. We are waiting for Valic to post this also.

Malawi has been producing fine coffees for more than 100 years. Coffee plantations began to flourish in the 1890′s following railway construction, allowing harvested goods to be shipped abroad for export. This single-origin coffee is grown on one of the finest estates in land-locked Malawi

Mellow body with crisp, vibrant aroma. Very bright cup with nice aftertaste typical of higher-end African coffees.
