The mountainous and humid area is ideal for growing coffee. A mixture of Arusha and Bourbon varieties, it grows in clay soil at an altitude of 1,400-1,800 meters above sea level. Papua New Guinea Korofeigu Organic is harvested from April to September.
Wet processing takes place on-farm using clean water from nearby sources. The berries are picked by hand and crushed the same day. The coffee is then fermented in small containers or buckets for 36-48 hours. Then the coffee is fully washed. The fruit is then dried - often on beds constructed from simple bush materials - for up to a week. Farmers bring the dried product to a collection point where they sell it for a higher price. Further processing of the grain takes place at NGHCE's own plant in Goroka.
