How do you get coffee from Papua New Guinea? how do you grade Papua New Guinea coffee beans?

Papua New Guinea is a very special country, there are many primitive tribes in the country, and the biggest industry is agriculture. Coffee is one of them, but it does not account for a high proportion, but it is famous because the coffee in this country is known as the Little Blue Mountain. You may not be able to imagine that Pakistan belongs to the Asian region, which you think is incredible! Do you feel that this country is very mysterious? let's explore with Qianjie.

PNG's coffee production is not very high, its coffee beans are carefully washed Arabica beans. Generally washed coffee beans are full of bright fruit aromas, but do not have a strong acidity. It is characterized by a silky soft taste and excellent aroma, moderate acidity, is a relatively rare high-alcohol and medium-acidity coffee variety.

Flavor: nuts, sugarcane, spices

In recent years, Papua New Guinea Coffee began to bring its own unique high-quality washed Arabica beans, on behalf of Oceania to enter the ranks of the world specialtycoffee. The coffee style of Papua New Guinea has the characteristics of full particles, moderate acidity and mellow taste.

Papua New Guinea is an island country in Oceania. In Malay, "Papua" means "curly hair". It is said that in 1545, the explorer Retes arrived on the island and found that most of the people's hair on the island was curly, that is, the island was called "the island of curly hair", so the name was handed down. Papua New Guinea in the east of Indonesia, is a standard island climate, located between the equator and 10 degrees south latitude, with tropical rain forest volcanic rocks and plateau topography, between 1200 and 2500 meters above sea level, is a paradise for growing coffee.

The local yield is small, and about 85% of the total coffee is produced by the garden cultivation system of small farmers. Small farmers join local cooperatives and share their processing equipment. Coffee is Pakistan's second largest export of agricultural products, which shows the importance of coffee industry to Pakistan's economy. Because the variety of coffee is different from that of Indonesia, and the altitude is higher than Sumatra, coupled with the use of water washing treatment, the regional taste of PNG coffee is different from Indonesia's muggy and low flavor, but has bright, sweet and sour, flower and fruit aromas, similar to the flavor of South America.

Papua New Guinea has a detached and primitive natural environment and its land is vast and fertile. Its unique volcanic rock soil and abundant rainfall create excellent natural conditions for the growth of coffee. The top coffee beans in Papua New Guinea are as beautiful and precious as the country's national bird of paradise.

Large estates / farms (plantation) usually have their own washing plants, and smaller individual coffee farmers are more likely to control the quality and flavor of their output. Located in the Wiki Valley of the western plateau of Papua New Guinea near the kimel Valley, Chimere Manor, like many large farms / estates, has its own washing plant, but it is in fact an estate owned by many independent small coffee farmers of the surrounding Opais people and, in a sense, a private cooperative. Due to the excellent growth conditions and the stable quality control process of the treatment plant, the coffee produced has an active sense of brightness and retains a considerable degree of flavor uniqueness of Papua New Guinea coffee.

Another special feature is that the variety of coffee planted by Kimmel cannot even be counted with one hand: Typica, Arusha, BlueMountain, MundoNovo, Catimor, Caturra. Or even more-in fact, just as they don't put eggs in the same basket, most farmers actually grow different varieties to avoid the risk that a particular variety will fail to grow or produce less than expected.
