Papua New Guinea Paradise Bird Coffee beans feature Jamaican Iron Card Asian Little Blue Mountain Story

The British first brought the iron pickup to Jamaica, making the Blue Mountain Coffee, and later, the British brought it to Papua. Papua New Guinea, merged with New Guinea, is the largest island country in the South Pacific, producing iron pickups from the United Kingdom, so it is known as the "Little Blue Mountain". Papua New Guinea has a detached and primitive natural environment and a vast and fertile land. Its unique volcanic rock soil and abundant rainfall create excellent natural conditions for the growth of coffee. Top Papua New Guinea Coffee is as beautiful and precious as the country's national bird of Paradise. Join Qianjie Coffee to learn about this Papua New Guinea coffee.

Independent State of Papua New Guinea (PNG), which is composed of New Guinea in the north and Papua in the south, lies to the east of Indonesia. The southern part of Papua New Guinea is composed of plains and lowlands, the southeast coastal zone, the central mountain system in the middle, and several separate mountains in the north.

Papua New Guinea has a mountain climate above 1000 meters above sea level, while the rest of the lower elevations have a tropical rain forest climate. The dry season is from May to October, and the rainy season is from November to April. The average temperature in coastal areas is 21. 1-32. 2 ℃, and that in mountainous areas is 16. 1-22. 2 ℃. The rainfall is large, and the average annual precipitation is 2500mm. It is rich in forest resources, and the tropical virgin forest covers about 86.4% of the total land area. It has a rich and unique animal and plant ecology, with about 6500 species of native plants and 380 species of native birds.

In addition, Papua New Guinea is rich in mineral resources and has great potential for development, especially gold and copper resources, which occupy a certain position in the world, and other major minerals include oil and natural gas. Before Qianjie coffee was on the shelves of coffee beans in Papua New Guinea, considering that the country is rich in mineral resources, compared with the coffee industry, there is an obvious gap in returns, and people will certainly choose industries that make more money. The poorer coffee industry will be more or less unstable, unlike Brazilian coffee, which is an important part of the national economy and will certainly develop vigorously. Qianjie Coffee is going to be put on the shelves of Papua New Guinea Paradise Bird Coffee beans recently, mainly the recent production of Paradise Bird. Qianjie Coffee has been tested in several batches before, and its flavor has its merits.

History of Coffee in Papua New Guinea

In 1511, the Portuguese discovered the island of New Guinea. Finding that the skin color of the local residents is quite similar to that of African Equatorial Guineans, they named it the island of New Guinea. Genetically speaking, the residents of the island are pure yellow people.

In 1884, the Dutch drove out the Portuguese and occupied the western half of New Guinea, roughly the region of what is now the Indonesian province of Papua. At the same time, France occupied the southeast of the island and named it New Ireland. Later, the French occupation was ruled by Britain, while the northeastern part of the remaining island was occupied by Germany. As a result, the western part of the island of New Guinea belongs to the Netherlands, the southeast to the United Kingdom and the northeast to Germany.

In 1906, Britain transferred British New Guinea to Australia for governance.

In 1914, when World War I broke out, Germany was too busy to take care of itself, and the northeastern part of New Guinea was acquired by Australia. It is bounded by longitude 141 °E, with the Netherlands to the west of New Guinea and Australia to the east.

In 1931, Ironhide Card was introduced from Jamaica to Papua New Guinea. At that time, Britain had occupied Jamaica for nearly 300 years, and the most typical coffee in Jamaica was the Blue Mountain Coffee of Iron Card. Because of the friendly relationship between Australia and Britain, it was reasonable for Papua New Guinea to introduce tin card. Qianjie Coffee often uses the name Little Blue Mountain to introduce Papua New Guinea Coffee to guests. after all, the historical reasons are there, and the name of Little Blue Mountain is much easier to remember than Papua New Guinea.

Bourbon coffee beans were introduced from Kenya in 1950. Coincidentally, Kenya was also a British colony at that time. The open cultivation encouraged by the government led to the substantial growth of the coffee industry in the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1961, after the end of World War II, the western part of the Dutch island of New Guinea declared independence under the name "West Papua", but only a few months later it was invaded by the same independent Indonesia, where Indonesia established the province of Irian Jaya. After 2003, it is planned for Papua and West Papua provinces.

Since moving to New World and Kaddura from Brazil in 1962, the quality of coffee beans in Papua New Guinea has made a great leap forward.

In 1975, Australia granted full independence and sovereignty and established Papua New Guinea. The east is independent New Guinea and the west is Papua under the jurisdiction of Indonesia, which is the formation of the situation of "one island, two countries".

Coffee producing area of Papua New Guinea

Most coffee beans in Papua New Guinea are grown in high mountain areas. The highland region of Papua New Guinea is divided into two main provinces, including the eastern and western provinces.

In the eastern provinces, coffee is usually grown in Goroka and Kainantu, with two estates, Arona and Purosa, the most famous. In the western provinces, coffee is usually produced on the outer ring of Mount Hagen, the Kimel estate north of Mount Hagen produces high-quality coffee beans, and the Wahgi canyon on Mount Hagen is known for its ideal coffee growing climate and fertile volcanic soil, with Paradise Bird Manor from Wahgi Canyon.

In addition to these two provinces, coffee is also grown in other areas. However, the quality of coffee beans produced is poor, mainly Robusta coffee.

The production of coffee beans in Papua New Guinea is small, and about 85% of the total output is produced by smallholder cultivation. Small farmers join local cooperatives and share their processing equipment. Although it is bordered by Indonesia, because the variety of coffee is different from that of Indonesia, the altitude of coffee is also higher than that of Sumatra in Indonesia, coupled with the main use of water washing treatment, the flavor of coffee in Papua New Guinea is different from the muggy and low flavor of Indonesia. on the contrary, it has a bright sweet and sour taste, flower and fruit aroma, and mellow flavor, similar to the flavor of South America.

Treatment of coffee beans in Papua New Guinea

After harvesting ripe red coffee cherries, they are sent to the manor's own water washing plant for treatment. The local washing treatment in Papua 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. Qianjie Coffee found that there are strictly divided producing areas in the coffee grading system, and the coffee beans they produce all have one thing in common, that is, the size of the beans is uniform, and there are fewer defective beans. In this case, the color is uniform when roasting and the taste will be much cleaner. The most obvious example is that Qianjie Coffee once compared Indonesia's Lindong Mantenin with Golden Mantenin, which is extremely strict in screening. The bean grains are also very uniform, and the cleanliness of the taste is obviously better than that of Lin Dong Mantenin.

The meaning and rules of the name of coffee raw bean in Papua New Guinea

It is named after country + planting type + grading name. There are three planting types in Papua New Guinea: plantations, large estates and small and medium-sized farms. Plantation (plantations) and Large Estates (large estates) account for 25% of the national production of Holdings or Blocks (small and medium-sized farms of 10-20 hectares).

The following tables are classified as follows:

Qianjie Coffee takes the most eye-catching boutique AA and An as an example:

AA and A-grade coffee belong to boutique coffee grades, mainly from larger estates. In the case of AA, the size of the bean is larger than 18 mesh, and the shape of the bean is oval. Number of shortcomings: a maximum of 10 defects per kilogram. The appearance of raw beans is green and slightly blue. The taste of raw beans should be clean and the taste of baking should be clean and smooth. The taste of the cup should be excellent (Fine Cup).

The size of Class An is larger than that of 17 mesh, and the cup test must be at least GTF (Good to Fine), that is, good to excellent taste, and the number of other defects and the condition of raw beans are the same as AA.

Bird of Paradise Manor

The people of Papua New Guinea regard the beautiful bird of paradise as a bird of freedom and joy, a "gift of the gods". Sigri iron pickup coffee beans, like the migration of birds, have traveled long distances from the Jamaican Blue Mountains to Papua New Guinea to breed, with the same pedigree of the Jamaican Blue Mountains. This blue mountain pedigree is also the focus of Papua New Guinea Paradise Bird Coffee beans. Qianjie Coffee purchases each coffee bean in the hope of having its own unique characteristics, and does not want to appear different beans with the same flavor. This is why Qianjie Coffee spends a lot of time selecting beans, adjusting baking parameters and so on. One coffee bean can be similar to other coffee beans, but it should also be different.

According to current records, there are more than 160 different species of birds in the Wahgi Valley, including 90 species at Bird Paradise Manor, including Papua New Guinea's national symbol, Paradise Bird, a veritable bird paradise. So Siguri Manor also has the name of Paradise Bird Manor.

The manor was founded in 1950 and has been a pioneer in the local coffee industry for more than 60 years. The Bird of Paradise Manor is located in the Waghi Valley Valley in the Western Highlands Province (Western Highlands), about 1500 meters above sea level, with mineral-rich volcanic soil, cool climate, fertile soil and abundant rainfall. Bird Paradise Manor also pays great attention to ecological protection, in order to protect soil and water, reject the use of pesticides and pesticides, and take care of the ecology and nearby birds.

Bird Paradise Manor has adhered to a high standard of planting and handling system for many years.

[cooking suggestion]

Qianjie coffee is recommended to use Kono filter cup, because it has few ribs and is located at the low end, it can make the filter paper stick to the filter cup to achieve the effect of limiting air flow, so as to slow down the flow rate and increase the contact time of water powder. Soaking can be used to extract more coffee substances and improve the mellow taste.

The water temperature is 88 ℃, which can be regarded as a lower cooking temperature, which can avoid excessive extraction of miscellaneous flavor of coffee beans in the cooking process, because the deeper the roasting degree of coffee beans is, the more miscellaneous smell will increase.

For the amount of powder, Qianjie coffee chooses a powder-to-water ratio of 15 grams and 1:15, and the grinding scale is determined by the passing rate of the Chinese standard No. 20 sieve.

Qianjie coffee is extracted by stages, 30 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds, small water is injected around the circle to 125 grams, when the water level is about to be exposed to the powder bed, continue to inject water to 225 grams to stop, (steaming starts) extraction time is 2 minutes.
