Coffee producing area of Paradise Bird Manor in Papua New Guinea

| 01 | production area profile |

The people of Papua New Guinea regard the beautiful bird of paradise as a bird of freedom and joy, a "gift of the gods". PNG AA Sigri Manor Arabica Coffee, like the migration of birds, was bred from the Jamaican Blue Mountain Ironka to Papua New Guinea, with the same ancestry of the Jamaican Blue Mountains.

In Papua New Guinea, coffee is a national crop and the only crop consumed in the country both domestically and abroad. 90% of it is grown by small farmers, supporting the income of three citizens (nearly 400000 households). Here, farmers have been passionate about growing Arabica for decades.

Sigri Sigri Manor

The Higrid / Bird of Paradise Manor is located in the Waghi Valley in the Western Highlands Province (Western Highlands), about 1500 meters above sea level, with well-drained volcanic soil. The manor was founded in 1950 and has been a pioneer in the local coffee industry for more than 60 years.

In Papua New Guinea, 95% of the coffee comes from the highlands. Sigri Plantation, located in the Wahgi Valley of the western plateau of Papua New Guinea, is about 1600-1800 m above sea level. Here, the climate is cool, the soil is fertile and the rainfall is abundant. Sigri has a wealth of experience in coffee cultivation and processing. In the 1950s, coffee beans were widely grown in Papua New Guinea, and Sigri was one of the earliest plantations. And because of its unique high-quality coffee, it is famous in the world.

The Sigri plantation has adhered to a high standard of planting and treatment system for many years. During the harvest season from April to September each year, only fully ripe red fruits of coffee can be picked by hand, making the coffee cherries sour and sweet. At Sigri, cup tests are conducted every day to ensure that the plantation provides customers with gourmet coffee of the same quality. As a result, Sigri has become a classic of boutique coffee in the world.

At the peak of the harvest, Sigri employs about 6000 people, half of whom eat and live in the plantation's own staff house, which has free clinics and primary schools for employees' children.

The Sigri plantation also protects soil and water, rejects the use of pesticides and pesticides, and takes care of the ecology and nearby birds. According to current records, there are more than 160 different species of birds in the Wahgi Valley, including 90 species on the Sigri plantation, including the bird of paradise, the national symbol of Papua New Guinea, a veritable bird paradise.

02 | processing method

Due to its geographical location in the southern hemisphere, the local coffee harvest season is from May to August (most of Central and South America is harvested from October to February of the following year). After harvesting ripe red coffee cherries on nearly 413 hectares of land, the farm and surrounding small farmers send them to the manor's own treatment plant for post-production. However, the local washing treatment in New Guinea is different from that in Central and South America.

Use three times of water washing and fermentation, each time soak for about 24 hours, and change clean water to control the coffee flavor; after cleaning, remove the shell of raw beans and then carry out various grades, such as AA, AB, PB beans, etc., this fine post-processing method brings bright and delicate fruity flavor to the coffee itself, clean and long sweet taste.

Higrid / Paradise Bird Manor also attaches great importance to ecological issues in the park, planting two different shade trees to provide a good growing environment for coffee and a good habitat for birds. At present, there are 90 different species of birds and wild animals in the park, which is an excellent model for the sustainable management of coffee farms. In particular, it is worth mentioning that coffee cultivation in Papua New Guinea basically uses no artificial fertilizers, no chemicals, and all pest control is carried out in a natural and non-toxic manner.

Papua New Guinea is located on the island of Guinea, with Indonesia but coffee taste with Mantenin's round and full Papua New Guinea beans, taste clean, full of flowers and sweet.

The vast majority of PNG coffee is made up of small farmers, rather than large organized companies, and more farmers grow coffee trees from 20 to 500 or 600. PNG basically uses no artificial fertilizers, no chemical sprays, and all farm diseases and insect pests are controlled by hand.

The original three-stage washing method, 3 times 24-hour washing process, can achieve the complete removal of the pulp, and then dry in the natural sun.
