Indonesia Mantenin Coffee Bean Variety planting History Gold Mantenin name Origin Taste Story

I believe that friends who drink coffee have more or less heard of Mantenin coffee beans. It comes from Indonesia, which is known as the Thousand Islands. Until now, Indonesia's Mantenin is still very distinctive, attracting countless coffee lovers.

The origin of the name of Manning coffee

The name of Manning's bean is very interesting. It is neither the name of the place of origin nor the name of the coffee variety, but a name derived from a double misunderstanding. The story that Qianjie learned is that during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank mellow coffee in a cafe, so he asked the shopkeeper the name of the coffee, and the owner mistakenly thought he was asking where you were from. So the answer: Mandaining. But the veteran also misheard it as Manning. After the war, the Japanese soldiers recalled drinking mellow "Manning" coffee in Indonesia and wanted to start the coffee business in Japan. As a result, 15 tons of Indonesian coffee was transported to Japan, which was very popular. That's how Manning's name came out, and the coffee merchant is now the founder of the famous PWN Coffee Company.

It was this double misunderstanding that made the name Manning spread and became world-famous. And the origin of Mantenin coffee beans is also very interesting. By definition, only Arabica coffee beans from North Sumatra can be called Mantenin coffee beans, so the coffee grown in Robusta on the south of Sumatra and in Java and Sulawesi cannot be called Mantenin.

Manning Coffee producing area

There are two better places to grow manning coffee in North Sumatra, one is the Lindong producing area with Lake dopa as the center, and the other is the Aceh producing area with Lake Tawa as the center.

Lindong producing area

Lindong producing area is a traditional famous producing area, where the high mountains are 1000-1500 meters above sea level. Many volcanoes in the producing area bring rich volcanic soil. Mantenin in Lindong producing area has always been a hot product of high quality. The Indonesian rations beans in the front street are the Mantenin coffee beans from the Lindong producing area. After testing a variety of Mantenin coffee beans in the front street, it is found that Lindong Manning coffee has a mellow taste, rich chocolate nut tone and herbal flavor with local characteristics, which can represent the flavor of Manning coffee.

Yazijiayu Mountain producing area

In the early years, the independence movement in Aceh destabilized the local situation, so no matter how delicious the coffee was, few coffee drinkers were willing to risk picking beans. In 2005, when the situation in Aceh eased, the producing area of Aceh was once again targeted by coffee drinkers.

Mount Azigayo is in the northernmost corner of Sumatra, and the coffee-growing area is mainly around the slopes of the town of Takegon and Lake Tawa. The average elevation is between 1100 and 1600 meters above sea level, and the famous pawani's gold Mantenin coffee beans come from this producing area. It can be seen that the quality of coffee beans in Aceh is better than that in Lindong.

The variety of coffee grown here is called "Ateng". This seems to be a very strange variety of coffee. In fact, the local names for coffee varieties in Indonesia are not quite the same. For example, the Indonesian name Tim Tim is what we call Timor (Tim). And Ateng is the name of Indonesian localized Catimor (Katim). Ateng is very suitable for planting and flavor development in Aceh.

Pwn's gold Mantenin coffee beans are known for their high quality, and one of the reasons for their guarantee is that three manual screenings are carried out after the treatment is completed to ensure that the defects of the raw beans are as few as possible, the particles are full and uniform, and in the sun, each bean is full and large, glowing like gold.

Because of this, the price of gold manning is generally higher than that of other manning coffee beans. Therefore, there are also some unscrupulous merchants using Mantening G1 to pop up Huang Jing Manning. So how do consumers test whether they have bought real gold manning coffee beans? the easiest way is to ask merchants to display golden manning coffee sacks and PWN certificates with the same number as the sacks.

How to brew manning coffee?

Although Mantenin is of good quality, it is easy to get a bitter taste if it is not cooked properly, but if you have trouble in this respect, you might as well refer to Qianjie's cooking plan.

For deep-roasted coffee beans such as Manning, the front street recommends Kono filter cups. Because this can improve the mellow taste of coffee beans, if not, you can also use V60 filter cup.

The amount of powder is 15g per person, and the selected coffee beans are recommended to be kept for 4-7 days (with the baking date as the first day), so that the flavor of the coffee will be better. In terms of coffee grinding, the grinding degree of brewing Mantenin coffee is a little thicker than that of light roasted coffee beans, because the deep roasting used by Golden Manning has a looser structure and is easier to absorb water and release coffee substances. if it is ground to the thickness of shallow roasted beans, it is easy to rinse bitterness; if it is thicker, it will make the coffee as thin and tasteless as water. The thickness is 70% of the pass rate of the No. 20 screen. In terms of water temperature, Qianjie recommends using a water temperature of 87-88 ℃ for cooking. Many of the reasons for the bitter smell come from the high temperature of the water. Of course, too low water temperature will also make coffee tasteless. In terms of the proportion of flavored water, the Qianjie Association recommends 1:15, although some flushing methods suggest using a proportion of powdered water at 1:13 or less, so that the drink will be more rich. However, this kind of practice of reducing the powder-to-water ratio is also partly due to avoiding the bitterness at the end, and accordingly, it will also have an impact on the aftertaste. Qianjie believes that as long as a good grasp of the relationship between water temperature and grinding degree, the use of 1:15 powder can better reflect the overall flavor senses of Huangman. The brewing method uses the commonly used three-stage water injection method, which is divided into three stages to better show the mellow taste of Mantenin coffee and the sweetness of caramel. The specific distribution of water injection is the first stage of steaming water injection 30ml, this stage of water injection all wet coffee powder, exhaust, in order to better extract coffee flavor substances, the second stage injected 100ml, this section mainly flushed out the golden foam of Mantenin.

In the last section, 95ml is injected into the soft center, which can improve the sweetness of the coffee, showing a thick and mellow taste, the sweetness of caramel and the flavor of chocolate and nuts.
