Papua New Guinea is one of the least urbanized countries in the world, with only 18 per cent of its urban population and 85 per cent of its national economy derived from agricultural exports. But Papua New Guinea produces one of the best quality coffee in the world. The local coffee variety comes from the Blue Mountain Coffee in Jamaica and belongs to Typica.

Papua New Guinea is located on the island of Guinea, bordering Indonesia and Australia to the south.

In Papua New Guinea, about 75 per cent of coffee products come from small local farms. Many farms reclaim land in the forest, and some are in the depths of the forest, almost isolated from the rest of the world. Coffee in the country is grown on highlands between 1300 and 1800 meters above sea level, so it is of high quality. Although coffee is also grown in some lowlands, the yield is relatively small. Most of the locally grown coffee is grown under natural conditions because of the problems and high costs of transporting chemical fertilizers and pesticides to the farm.

Although Papua New Guinea is close to Indonesia, the coffee taste is completely not used in Indonesia's Mantenin, Papua New Guinea beans, taste clean, full of flowers and rhyme, completely different from Mantenin's miscellaneous flavor and strong flavor.

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 a vast area of nearly 413 hectares of land, farmers send them to the manor's own treatment plant for post-processing, but 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. Bird of Paradise Manor is located in the Waghi Valley in the West Highlands Province (Western Highlands), about 1500 meters above sea level, with well-drained volcanic soil. Bird of Paradise Manor was founded in 1950 and has been a pioneer in the local coffee industry for more than 60 years.
