Sigri Manor, Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is one of the least developed countries in the world, with dense rainforests, rugged mountains and diverse indigenous peoples. In addition, the country's biodiversity is also amazing, with about 6500 species of native plants and 380 species of native birds, which can be said to be an important biological treasure house in the world.

It is said that the coffee trees in Papua New Guinea were originally grown from the stock of Blue Mountain varieties, so some people say that New Guinea beans are descended from Blue Mountains, but the two taste different. At present, there are many large and small coffee estates in New Guinea, and the most well-known in the world is the Sigri Manor, which is well-funded and knows best about marketing and packaging.

Siguri Manor originated in the Wahgi Valley in the western highlands in 1950. It produces high-quality Arabica coffee. There is a very strict quality control process. From the beginning of harvest, quality control begins: coffee beans are harvested manually and carefully checked for defective beans to see if they are ripe coffee cherries with rich and balanced acidity and sweetness. After that, it will be treated in the traditional way, using a lot of water and going through complicated procedures. Especially in the process of fermentation, after three consecutive days of washing and soaking coffee beans with a lot of water, unlike the biggest in other producing areas, all coffee beans are completely soaked in water, thus creating a very special flavor. After the washing process, the subsequent drying does not use machine drying, but completely uses the sun to make the coffee more rich in flavor.

Although the AA bird of paradise at Sigley Manor has been famous in the Taiwan market for a long time, what is more special is that it has certified round beans for the rare PB Rainforest Alliance and bears the green frog logo of "Rainforest Alliance Certification Rainforest Alliance Certified."

Located in the east of the Indonesian archipelago, Papua New Guinea, which is dominated by highlands, has a pattern of large manors / farms and small farmers, growing a variety of coffee varieties. The flavor of coffee in Papua New Guinea is very different from that of coffee from other Asian regions, such as Indonesia, South Asia, India or the Pacific Islands. compared with the low acidity, mellow texture and soil properties of Indonesian beans (Sumatra, Sulawesi) that are mostly semi-washed (wet peeled), washed Papua New Guinea coffee always has a brighter and more sour appearance, similar to the flavor of Central American coffee. Large estates / farms (plantation) usually have their own washing plants, and smaller individual coffee farmers are more likely to control the quality and flavor of their output. Like many large farms / estates have their own washing plants, but in fact this is a manor owned by many independent coffee farmers of the surrounding Opais nationality, in a sense, it is a private cooperative. Due to the excellent growth conditions and the stable quality control process of the treatment plant, the coffee produced has an active sense of brightness and retains a considerable degree of flavor uniqueness of Papua New Guinea coffee.
