Around half of the farmers that produced this coffee are members of the Tzotzil and Tzeltal indigenous populations, all of whom practice organic farming practices. This coffee takes its name from the indigenous word for tasteful Ki. The median farm size is just under three hectares and employs many shade trees that harbor bird and insect species which naturally keep coffee pest populations in check, while slowing the development of coffee fruits, resulting in superior coffee. \u003cbr\u003eThe coffee is handpicked before being fermented for between 12 and 18 hours, washed, and sun dried. The result is an extremely approachable coffee that is enjoyable for both coffee aficionados and coffee laypeople.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBrew Notes: \u003cbr\u003eWe recommend using between a 1:14 and 1:15 brew ratio for this coffee with water between 200-205F \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee Details:\u003cbr\u003eVarieties: \u003cbr\u003eCaturra, Costa Rica, Marsellesa, Typica\u003cbr\u003eProcessing Method: \u003cbr\u003eWashed, Sun-Dried\u003cbr\u003eProducer: \u003cbr\u003eSmall holder farmers in Chiapas\u003cbr\u003eAltitude: \u003cbr\u003e3940-5900’ Above Sea Level\u003cbr\u003eSocial Media Post: \u003cbr\u003eA delicious, comforting, crowd-pleasing coffee \u003cbr\u003eLabel: \u003cbr\u003eA delicious, comforting, crowd-pleasing coffee with the quintessential flavors of high quality Chiapan coffee: milk chocolate, caramel, and burnt sugar.

We feel that the fresh crop of this coffee preserves the essence of what we loved in the previous crop, but is also distinct and unique in a way that we prefer. While the previous crop was a bit bombastic in its delivery of fruit and fermentation notes, this crop is more mellow, albeit still not subtle. We love to follow the journey of coffee producers we partner with for multiple years and see the progression of their coffees as they innovate and refine their techniques to produce ever better coffee.  \u003cbr\u003eThis lot of coffee is particularly unique in that natural processes from Papua New Guinea are few and far between as the cool wet climate in the Papua New Guinea highlands is not conducive to drying coffee with the fruit intact. This coffee was dried for a full month before being prepared for export. The drying process is the last step in the process of selecting only the highest quality coffee cherries from smallholder farmers. \u003cbr\u003eTypically, the best lots of coffee from Papua New Guinea come from vertically integrated coffee plantations that can control the process step by step. There is a larger volume of coffee, usually of poorer quality, sold by smallholder farmers to wet mills and then sold at commodity or below market prices. Jiwaka Natural is the literal fruit of a long collaborative effort to increase the quality of cherries harvested by smallholder farmers and show that with the right care, the climactic and genetic potential of Papua New Guinea’s coffee is quite high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black Oak Single Origins","offers":[{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 12oz","offer_id":53204744012098,"sku":"MEXICO-KICHIAPAS-12OZ-WB","price":19.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 2lb","offer_id":53204744044866,"sku":"MEXICO-KICHIAPAS-2LB-WB","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whole Bean \/ 5lb","offer_id":53204744077634,"sku":"MEXICO-KICHIAPAS-5LB-WB","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground - Medium - Drip \/ 12oz","offer_id":53204744110402,"sku":"MEXICO-KICHIAPAS-12OZ-GR7","price":19.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground - Medium - Drip \/ 2lb","offer_id":53204744143170,"sku":"MEXICO-KICHIAPAS-2LB-GR7","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ground - Medium - Drip \/ 5lb","offer_id":53204744175938,"sku":"MEXICO-KICHIAPAS-5LB-GR7","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0219\/7344\/files\/2605-ki-chiapas_To-Right-Comp.png?v=1778628642","url":"https:\/\/blackoakcoffee.com\/products\/mexico-ki-chiapas","provider":"Black Oak Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
