{"product_id":"papua-new-guinea-timuza-copy","title":"Papua New Guinea Mong","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\"Mong Coffee, led by Rexson Raguni (Rex) in Papua New Guinea’s Western Highlands, is one of the clearest examples of what becomes possible when process control meets long-term vision. In 2024 Rex became the first in PNG to implement slow drying at exportable scale, extending dry times to stabilize moisture, guard against fade, and enhance cup quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDespite challenges in a cash-driven economy, the results proved that patience pays: slow-dried lots achieved higher scores, and with them higher prices. His consistency has since become a model for neighboring leaders, demonstrating that premiums tied to cup quality are real and achievable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 2025, Rex has expanded shaded drying space and added natural processing to his repertoire, alongside larger volumes of slow-dried washed. Early deliveries suggest ~200 bags of slow-dried washed and ~50–70 bags of naturals this season. At Mong Coffee’s drying patios you’ll find raised beds, shade nets, and Rex himself—always with a temperature gun in hand—closely monitoring every stage.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\/\/ Dried fig, honey, lemon, white pear, chocolate, dried cranberry \/\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion\u003c\/b\u003e: Western Highlands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducers\u003c\/b\u003e: Timuza Coffee Cooperative\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietals\u003c\/b\u003e: Blue Mountain, Mundo Novo, Caturra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcess\u003c\/b\u003e: Washed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"340g","offer_id":44109246136454,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lbs","offer_id":44109246169222,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/1809\/5471\/files\/29507316844_824a1df9f6_c.jpg?v=1782421870","url":"https:\/\/larkcoffee.ca\/products\/papua-new-guinea-timuza-copy","provider":"Lark Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
