Introduction of coffee beans in Asia and the Pacific

There are three main coffee growing areas in the world, most of which are located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Due to different soil, climate and farming methods, the coffee beans produced are also different in flavor, so each kind of coffee bean is unique. The original purpose of Qianjie coffee is not to sell beans, but to taste coffee beans from all over the world. In this process, the purpose of Qianjie Coffee is to understand each coffee producing area, different coffee varieties in the same producing area, different treatments of the same coffee variety, and to establish a corresponding database, as well as the comparison between different coffee producing areas. Qianjie Coffee hopes to let more coffee lovers know about the world of coffee.

Coffee beans in Asia and the Pacific are rich in flavor, full of depth and earth flavor. Indonesia Islands, East Timor, South Asia, Papua New Georgia and other areas have different climatic and topographic conditions. Except for East Timor and Papua New Georgia, most of them use semi-washing method to process coffee. The coffee from Sumatra and Sulawesi in Indonesia has a rich aroma and balanced taste, which is the favorite of many customers, while the coffee in Papua New Gnea has an elegant and rich taste.
