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.
Despite 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.
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 ~500 bags of naturals this season. At Mong Coffee's drying patios you'll find raised beds, shade nets, and Rex himself closely monitoring every stage.
