Papua New Guinea-Birds of Paradise Fly

Asian coffee, which started late, is already short of famous products, and in addition, the vigorous coffee production in Vietnam in recent years has cast a shadow of "Roberta" on Asian coffee. A century ago, the name of Indonesian Java coffee also changed in a wave of rust, and high-quality Arabica beans became more and more difficult to obtain, leaving only Sumatra wearing a sun hat called Mantenin. Independent in a small coffee field in the Thousand Islands. Most coffee lovers and even people who don't care about coffee know Mantenin's name, but most people and even coffee lovers may not know another name in Asian coffee-Papua New Guinea, which is actually the same name. In recent years, it has begun to bring its own unique high-quality water to wash Arabica beans, representing Asia's entry into the world specialty coffee.

The small island, which shares Irian with Indonesia, lies in the east of the island and faces Australia across the Torres Strait to the south. The whole territory includes more than 600 islands, large and small, such as New Zealand Island and New England Island. What is amazing is that although it is close to Indonesia, the coffee produced here is different from the rich and strong bitter taste of Mantenin. It has moderate mellow and beautiful acidity, and can also find beautiful flowers and fresh fruit aromas in the aroma. Although it is not as deep as Mantenin, but because of its high-quality beans and exquisite washing processing. The low earthy flavors of Sumatra and Sulawesi are removed both in the aroma and in the flavor, and the overall style is somewhat skewed towards the freshness and gentleness of Chinese and American coffee.

Exploring the history of Papua New Guinea, we find that hunters and farmers from Asia settled on the island via Indonesia as early as 8000 years ago. It was discovered by European explorers in the 16th century and became the Golden Island. It was occupied by Spain in 1545 and was named New Guinea because its inhabitants were similar to those on the west coast of Africa. Coffee production only began in the last century. However, because of the country's excellent climate environment and the appropriate support policies of the government, the country's coffee production has developed rapidly and has entered the world boutique coffee market in recent years because of its excellent varieties.

80% of the country's coffee is produced on a small scale by farmers on a household basis. Because of the economy and mode of production, the coffee here is all natural and organic coffee without pesticides and fertilizers. Moreover, the country has a small planting area but is rich in coffee trees, such as Itsuka, Bourbon, Kaddura and, more importantly, the Jamaican Blue Mountains introduced in the 1950s, coupled with the country's unique climatic conditions. the taste of fine coffee produced is almost comparable to that of Blue Mountain.

This emerging Asian coffee country is actually a relatively backward and primitive country, and the aborigines of the central highlands have retained their way of life for thousands of years. In this last piece of unpolluted pure land in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, they have been accompanied by a rich biological world for thousands of years.

There are the most complete terrestrial ecological species in the South Pacific. There are five lowland rainforests, thirteen mountain rainforests, five palm and swamp forests, three mangroves, nearly 200 species of frogs alone, more than 400 species of butterflies and more than 700 species of birds.

What is more worth mentioning is Papua's national bird of paradise, also known as the bird of paradise. The bird of paradise lives in the jungle of the steep mountains of Papua New Guinea, and people can only see them flying in the air, so it is said that the bird of paradise lives in the world of paradise. It feeds on nectar and has colorful feathers and is known as the "Divine Bird". The bird of paradise is afraid that the wind blowing from behind will mess up its beautiful feathers, it always flies against the wind, so people also call it "wind bird". There are more than 40 species of birds of paradise, and there are more than 30 species in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. The most precious of these are Paradise Island, Paradise Island with tail, Blue Bird of Paradise and Bird of Paradise, which are found only in Papua New Guinea.

Bird of paradise symbolizes independence, freedom-this small but unlimited potential coffee producing country, this bird of paradise flies freely, and it is believed that in the near future, it will spread its wings and soar in the world's fine coffee forest like a bird of paradise.
