Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Papua New Guinea, to the east of Indonesia, has a standard island climate, located between the equator and 10 poisonous latitudes, with tropical rain forest volcanic rocks and plateau topography, between 1200 and 2500 meters above sea level, making it a paradise for growing coffee. The local yield is small, and about 85% of the total coffee is produced by the garden cultivation system of small farmers. Small farmers will join the local cooperative and share together.

Papua New Guinea, to the east of Indonesia, has a standard island climate, located between the equator and 10 poisonous latitudes, with tropical rain forest volcanic rocks and plateau topography, between 1200 and 2500 meters above sea level, making it a paradise for growing coffee. The local yield is small, and about 85% of the total coffee is produced by the garden cultivation system of small farmers. Small farmers join local cooperatives and share their processing equipment. Coffee is Pakistan's second largest export of agricultural products, which shows the importance of coffee industry to Pakistan's economy. Because the variety of coffee is different from that of Indonesia, and the altitude is higher than Sumatra, coupled with the use of water washing treatment, the regional taste of PNG coffee is different from Indonesia's muggy and low flavor, but has bright, sweet and sour, flower and fruit aromas, similar to the flavor of South America.

Washed Papua New Guinea coffee always has a brighter, more sour performance, 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. Located in the Wiki Valley of the western plateau of Papua New Guinea near the kimel Valley, Chimere Manor, like many large farms / estates, has its own washing plant, but it is in fact an estate owned by many independent small coffee farmers of the surrounding Opais people and, in a sense, 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.

Another special feature is that the variety of coffee planted by Kimmel cannot even be counted with one hand: Typica, Arusha, Blue Mountain, Mundo Novo, Catimor, Caturra. Or even more-- in fact, just as they don't put their eggs in the same basket, most farmers actually plant different varieties. Avoiding the risk that a particular variety does not adapt to the growth of a particular variety resulting in unsuccessful planting or production is not as expected, but also creates an interesting performance of its coffee flavor characteristics.

The round beans of this Chimeier Manor will taste a little spicy, with sweet and refreshing notes of nuts and sugar cane, creamy and smooth, the round beans taste more solid and the overall performance is balanced and smooth.
