The cooperative brings together \u003cstrong\u003e97 smallholder farmers \u003c\/strong\u003ewhose coffee gardens are spread across the mountainous region. Coffee first began taking root around Korofeigu in the mid-1940s, when local communities were introduced to coffee cultivation and received training in coffee production. Over time, coffee became an important source of income for families throughout the area. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe farms sit between approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1400 and 1800 masl\u003c\/strong\u003e, within a cool and humid mountain environment characterised by loamy soils and dense native shade trees. Coffee is grown alongside the surrounding vegetation rather than in large monoculture plantations, creating a diverse growing environment for the smallholder farms. The combination of elevation, shade, and cooler temperatures allows the cherries to mature gradually, contributing to the full body and layered fruit character associated with coffees from the Eastern Highlands. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot brings together traditional Arabica varieties grown by the cooperative's farmers, including \u003cstrong\u003eBourbon and Typica\u003c\/strong\u003e and their derivatives. Other cultivars found within the broader Korofeigu production include Arusha, Tim Tim, Ateng, Onan, Ganjang, and S795.

Ripe cherries are selectively harvested before being pulped and fermented to remove the remaining mucilage. The parchment is then washed clean and dried, with raised beds used to improve airflow and drying consistency. The coffee is also organically certified, following a programme developed to support farmers in achieving organic certification while providing training in coffee husbandry, processing standards, and sustainable farm management. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, this coffee presents \u003cstrong\u003edark chocolate and black tea alongside the deep fruit character of black grapes.\u003c\/strong\u003e The washed process keeps the cup clean and structured, while the combination of high elevation, traditional varieties, and organic shade-grown cultivation gives it a fuller body and lingering sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oaks Coffee Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44420095541361,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/8766\/3985\/files\/SHOPIFYPRODUCTIMAGE_7.png?v=1788283700","url":"https:\/\/www.oakscoffeeco.com\/products\/korofeigu-organic-papua-new-guinea-150gm","provider":"Oaks Coffee Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
