Origin
In the heart of the western inland regions of Papua New Guinea, in the province of Jiwaka, you will find the Kindeng Dry Mill processing plant. It’s the center of community cooperation for more than 1,500 small farmers from the villages of Kindeng and Arufa. Most of them farm on plots of only 1-2 hectares, surrounded by tropical vegetation and located at altitudes of 1,520 to 1,770 meters above sea level. It is precisely the combination of high altitude, fertile sandy loam and clay soils, and traditional Bourbon and Typica varieties that give rise to arabica coffee of exceptional quality.
A key step that shapes the final taste of the coffee is the natural processing method. At Kindeng Dry Mill, they pay attention to precision and care, so they always approach the harvest with great enthusiasm for a magnificent result. Once workers from nearby farms bring the coffee cherries to the plant, they’re sorted by hand (unripe, overripe, or damaged fruits are discarded). The rest is dried by Kindeng Dry Mill workers on so-called African beds. These are raised grates that ensure good airflow and natural drying. The cherries are also regularly moved and turned to prevent fermentation or mold and to achieve even moisture loss. This process takes an average of 30 days. The length of drying also depends on the weather and ambient humidity. Sometimes, it may necessary to cover the coffee with a tarp overnight, while at other times it needs to be ventilated more.
Once the moisture content in the coffee beans reaches the optimum level (around 11-12%), they’re transferred to breathable bags and stored in dry, cool rooms. The next step is hulling, i.e. removing the dried pulp and parchment skin. After hulling, it’s time for the next stage of sorting. The coffee is sorted according to size, weight, and color so that only high-quality beans make it into the export bags.
And that is exactly what you can taste now.
