A brief introduction to the treatment of boutique coffee beans in Papua New Guinea

New Guinea is a large mountainous island shared by Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The island's alpine aborigines were not discovered by the Australian Mick Leahy until 1930. They retained a primitive civilization and became a paradise for anthropological studies.

The coffee production in Papua New Guinea is not very high, and its coffee beans are carefully washed Arabica beans. Generally washed coffee beans are full of bright fruit aromas, but do not have a strong acidity. It is characterized by a silk-like soft taste and excellent aroma, moderate acidity, is a relatively rare variety of high-alcohol and medium-acidity coffee, whether it is used to mix Italian coffee or general comprehensive coffee, can make up for the lack of sour coffee.

If you taste Papua New Guinea coffee beans with Guatemala Antigua coffee, it will have a different taste. As we all know, Papua New Guinea coffee has the characteristics of fruit flavor and herbal aroma, while Guatemala Antigua coffee has a slightly spicy and cocoa flavor. The tip of the tongue has both fragrant fruit flavor and cocoa flavor, the two flavors blend and collide, giving people a unique new coffee experience.

Before I made coffee, I never knew where Babu was; I didn't know about birds of paradise; I didn't know there were coffee trees there. There are many countries in the world that have not attracted our attention, and Papua New Guinea is one of them.

What is particularly amazing is that the video taken by Mick when he first went to the mountain to meet the aborigines was preserved and later combined with interviews with the locals to produce a documentary about the contact between the Highland aborigines and modern civilization. The film is called first contact (first contact). After its release in 1983, the film shocked the world and won numerous awards. Images like this have never been seen before and have never been seen since, and they are really excellent. The follow-up story is also fascinating: Mick grew up in a tribe with Joe, the son of a local aboriginal, and later received a Western education in a white school, becoming a middleman across two cultures. He planted coffee in the highlands and made a fortune. His attempt to expand the coffee plantation was recorded and made into two documentaries with "first contact" and called the Highland Triple.

The law of history always tells us that a heterogeneous new civilization must bring a period or a certain degree of loss and pain to the recipient. But the situation in Papua New Guinea looks even worse, and what is happening there can only be described as chaos and bloodshed. No one can say exactly why. Frequent violence, endless tribal vendetta, lack of resources, lack of medicine and medicine. The old is dying, and the new is not being built. People there say they don't see the hope of this country.
