When it comes to balanced and mellow coffee, many people think of the very famous Blue Mountain Coffee. After all, Blue Mountain Coffee became famous all over the world in the last century and won the title of "Coffee Emperor". It is the representative of classic boutique coffee in the minds of many people. But for a long time, Blue Mountain caffeine is of high quality, low production and high price, so is there a more cost-effective coffee?

In fact, you can try the Paradise Bird Coffee beans of Papua New Guinea, known as the "Little Blue Mountain". This coffee bean is an iron card Typica introduced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, which is also washed and moderately roasted, with obvious aromas of hazelnut, toast, sugar cane and caramel, with slight soft acidity and a well-balanced taste.

Papua New Guinea may be strange to many, and many may have only heard of the abbreviation "PNG". In fact, the country is an island country in Oceania, made up of the eastern part of the Indonesian island of New Guinea and more than 600 surrounding islands.

The country is located in the Pacific Rim volcanic belt, with tropical rain forests and many volcanoes. Coffee is mainly grown in the central mountains, growing between 1200 and 2500 meters above sea level. And the country has a standard island climate, with an average temperature of 18-29 ℃ in the inland highlands, with an annual average rainfall of 2500 mm and a dry season and a rainy season.

In order to improve the development of coffee business in Papua, Jamaican tin seeds were introduced to grow locally in 1931. Because the environmental conditions and climate of the two regions were very similar, these coffee seeds quickly adapted to the local environment. Moreover, Papua New Guinea also uses water treatment, so the coffee produced in Papua New Guinea is very similar to that produced in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, hence the title of "Little Blue Mountain". However, there are still differences in flavor, Jamaica Blue Mountain will be more mellow, while Papua will be slightly sour.

In addition, in order to develop the diversity of coffee cultivation, Papua New Guinea has since introduced coffee varieties such as Bourbon, Mundo Novo and Kaddura.

In Papua New Guinea, coffee is grown in four major producing areas in the middle of the country, most of which are grown by small farmers, while there are only a handful of large-scale coffee estates, of which Sigri is the most famous.

Sigri Manor (Sigri) is also known as Paradise Bird Manor in China because the manor LOGO is printed with Paradise Bird (Paradise Bird is also the national bird of Papua). The manor is located in the Wahgi valley in the West Highland (Western Highlands) province, with an average elevation of more than 1500 meters.

Founded in the 1950s by Tom Cole, a well-known hunter, the estate was acquired by Papua's largest company (WR Carpenter company-PNG).

The company has 2800 hectares of land in Papua New Guinea to grow tea and Arabica coffee beans, as well as four processing plants and a coffee mill. It is also the largest producer and exporter of coffee and tea in Papua New Guinea, accounting for about 80 per cent of the country's exports.

As a result, Sigri Manor can be said to have the most advanced local technology and equipment, and the company attaches great importance to environmental protection and refuses to use pesticides and pesticides to protect water and soil. For many years, it has adhered to high standards of cultivation and treatment to produce coffee, so it has been internationally recognized.
