In 2024 he became the first in PNG to implement slow drying at exportable scale, extending dry times to stabilize moisture and protect cup quality over time. In a cash-driven economy where shortcuts are the easier path, he took the longer one. The results showed up in the scores, and the scores showed up in the prices. Neighboring leaders have started paying attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor 2025 Rex expanded shaded drying space and added natural processing alongside larger volumes of slow-dried washed. Raised beds, shade nets, and Rex on the patio with a temperature gun at every stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion: \u003c\/b\u003eWestern Highlands, Papua New Guinea\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer: \u003c\/b\u003eRexson Raguni\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcess:\u003c\/b\u003e Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes: \u003c\/b\u003eLychee, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLongan, Papaya Wine, Rose\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietals: \u003c\/b\u003eBlue Mountain, Caturra, Mundo Novo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoast Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Light-Medium Roast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eElevation:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e1850 masl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoast Date: \u003c\/b\u003e7\/17\/26\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet weight: \u003c\/b\u003e8.8oz | 250g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy we rest our coffee\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe roast on a Loring S15, and one thing we've learned is that our coffees need time.
