Papua New Guinea Sigri

This Papua New Guinea Sigri A is grown in the Wahgi Valley, in the heart of the Highlands, at an altitude of 1,550 meters, on rich, fertile volcanic soils. With a tropical climate tempered by the altitude (an average of 24°C) and abundant rainfall of about 2,200 mm per year, this region offers ideal conditions for growing exceptional Arabica. Founded in the 1950s, Sigri plantation quickly established a reputation as a benchmark in Papua New Guinea. Sigri A also retains a historical connection to Jamaican Blue Mountain, plants of which were introduced to the Highlands in the 1930s. Most of the country's coffee is produced by small family gardens, grown without artificial fertilizers or chemical treatments and in keeping with traditional practices. The cherries are hand-picked, then fermented for three days with daily washing, followed by an additional day of fermentation before natural drying and careful hand-sorting. Made from Typica and Arusha varieties, this Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee ensures traceability and a commitment to sustainability. It earns its SCA score of 84 with an aromatic, structured cup. We chose a medium roast to highlight its balance and depth. On the palate, it develops warm notes of toasted bread, biscuit, and maple syrup, supported by a lovely lingering finish and lasting sweetness.
