Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is 5895 meters above sea level and connected to Mount Meru. It is the main production base of Kilimanjaro coffee. Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak on the African continent and the only snowy peak on the earth located on the equatorial line. It is "the roof of Africa" and "Snow White on the equator". The rich volcanic ash gives the coffee here a strong texture and soft acidity, with the characteristics of typical African coffee beans. Kilimanjaro AA is the highest grade of beans with high quality in all aspects. Medium or more moderate after baking has a strong aroma. It is suitable for use as a single product or iced coffee.

Tanzanians still maintain a lot of coffee tradition, and most of the time they collect ripe and fallen fruit under coffee trees, which will somewhat damage the quality of coffee. They have been using the sun method to treat the coffee beans, rarely using the water washing method, which allows the coffee beans to absorb the aromatic substances of the flesh, so the fruit flavor is stronger.

Indonesia: Mantenin in Sumatra

Flavor and taste characteristics: the particles are full, the taste is thick and strong.

In Indonesia, coffee is not usually labeled as "Indonesia", but is preceded by the name of the island that produces it. Sumatran Mantenin, Java and Sumatra Ancora are usually regarded as one of the best coffees in the world, especially Manning, which is more popular. Coffee gourmets around the world once commented: "Sumatra Manning Coffee is the best coffee in the world."

The history of coffee cultivation in Sumatra began in the 18th century and was first introduced to the northern part of Sumatra, which has Lake dopa, Sumatra's largest freshwater lake, which is still the main producer of Sumatran coffee. Since coffee produced in Sumatra does not vary greatly in taste due to different producing areas, and even coffee from different producing areas, their harvest and processing processes are very similar, therefore, Sumatra is not named as a variety of coffee according to the producing area. In fact, most of the coffee beans produced in Sumatra are sold under the product name Mantenin, which has its own ethnic origin.

It is said that during World War II, when the Japanese occupied Indonesia, some Japanese soldiers went to a cafe run by the Mantenin to drink coffee. They thought the coffee provided by the owner was very good, so they asked the owner about the name of the coffee, and the owner mistakenly thought they were asking who they were, so they answered that they were from Mantenin. So the Japanese soldiers thought this kind of coffee was called Mantenin. After that, one of the Japanese soldiers thought that the coffee they drank in Indonesia was of great commercial value, and he wanted to introduce it to the Japanese market, so he contacted an Indonesian businessman. buy "Manning" coffee from him. Instead of rejecting the deal because there was no coffee called Mantenin, the shrewd businessman shipped 15 tons of coffee from Sumatra to Japan. Before that, the high-quality and delicious Indonesian coffee had never been exported to any country, and since then, the name "Manning" has spread all over the world.

Manning coffee is grown at an altitude of 750 to 1500 meters above sea level and belongs to the rare Arabica coffee beans in Indonesia. The appearance of Mantenin coffee beans is arguably the ugliest, but coffee fans say that the worse the Sumatran coffee beans are, the better, mellow and slippery they are. Mantenin coffee beans have large particles and hard beans, which are prone to defects in the process of planting. After harvest, they are usually strictly selected by hand. If the control process is not strict enough, it is easy to cause a mixture of good and bad quality. Manning coffee is treated differently, usually by putting the peel and flesh of dried coffee into hot water and removing them after washing, which has the advantage of making the shape of raw coffee beans smoother and more uniform. Mantenin coffee beans are said to be the most full-grained coffee beans in the world, which may be the reason for their rich natural aroma.

Mantenin taste thick and strong, is the "Caesar" of coffee, when tasting Mantenin, you can feel obvious lubrication on the tip of the tongue, it also has a low acidity, but this acidity can also be obviously tasted. Leaping micro-acid mixed with the most intense aroma, so that you can easily feel the lively factor in the mild fragrance. In addition, this coffee has a faint earthy aroma, and some people describe it as "herbaceous aroma".
