Nagaland Naga Coffee Wins Gold at Aurora International Taste Challenge 2023 in South Africa
Nagaland's Naga Coffee has achieved a remarkable feat by winning the prestigious Gold award at the Aurora International Taste Challenge (AITC) 2023 held in South Africa.
The winning coffee, produced in the state capital Kohima by local farmers, underwent a new drying process that involved polyhouse drying during the winter season in Kohima, followed by sundrying in Dimapur, reported Northeast Weekly.
This innovative double-drying technique resulted in a delightful sweetness, propelling the coffee to score above 85 points on the Speciality Coffee Associations scale.
With this recognition, Nagaland is poised to explore its potential for producing more award-winning coffees by adopting proper harvesting and processing methods.
This victory at the AITC marks a significant milestone for the region's emerging coffee industry.
