Description of the flavor and taste characteristics of washed beans in Kunjin, Kunjin, West Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea?

Papua New Guinea is a very diverse country with as many as 800 languages spoken in the country. Most of the tribes in the highlands did not come into contact with whites until the 1930s, before which outsiders knew little about Papua New Guinea; at present, Pakistan is in a very contradictory state. Struggling back and forth between the influence of westernization and local traditional culture.

Papua New Guinea began to grow commercial coffee in the 1920s. Coffee seeds were introduced from the Blue Mountains in Jamaica and belong to the Tibika species. At that time, most of the coffee was produced by 18 large coffee farms, and there are still large coffee farms in operation, but the output accounts for only 15% of the country's output. At present, most of the coffee comes from individual farmers. They grow coffee in their own "coffee garden (locals call the coffee garden as coffee garden)." these farmers rely on farming, and coffee is one of the crops. In fact, there is no so-called "coffee farmer" in Papua New Guinea. There are about thousands of coffee trees planted in each household's coffee garden, and the number of coffee trees sent to the water wash ranges from 25 to 65 kilograms.

Kunjin coffee comes from the Waki valley in the western highlands province, near the town of Hagen hill, where small coffee farmers grow coffee at an altitude of 1400mur1800m; the coffee is processed with raw beans in a rented washing plant, which is the established John Gordon washing plant. It is hoped that when the coffee is harvested next year, the processing plant will be run by our local partners and the machines will be replaced with a new Pinhalense system, which will further ensure the quality of the coffee in the future.

It is very novel to trade coffee with Papua New Guinea and get to know its unique culture. You may lose your luggage in Jakarta until you leave Papua New Guinea. Take a taxi to the Vision City Shopping Mall in Port Mosby, the capital, and spend US $30 on a Silver Fast hand T-shirt. After all, you don't have much choice. The Highlander Hotel in Mount Hagen costs US $300 a night, and cockroaches are rampant at night. Your room may also be right above the kitchen. Anyway, have a sweet dream! On the other hand, most of the local people live in remote areas and have a low income, and one of the reasons for such uneven development in Papua New Guinea is that the mining industry is very developed, and enterprises from various countries mine a large amount of precious ore in Papua New Guinea. As a result, local prices are rising. After all, the mining industry needs to inject a lot of resources.

Papua New Guinea is also a potential coffee producer, but it is still a long way from the top level; it has good quality family breeds and the altitude is very suitable for growing coffee. but socio-economic problems prevent Papua New Guinea from producing high-quality coffee. However, the most important feature of this batch of coffee we have made this year is that it tastes very clean, and as we have always insisted, we will raise the standard and select better coffee in the future.
