The gentleman in coffee-Sumatra Manning Mantenin is a fine coffee bean growing in the plateau and mountain area at an altitude of 750-1500 meters, implying a kind of tenacity and a great spirit that can be taken up and put down. It represents a kind of masculinity, drink with a kind of happy dripping, wanton, gallop scenery, this taste makes men fascinated.

Some people say that Mantenin is thick and strong, the Caesar in coffee, whose iron hoofs break into the ancient desolation and the distant horizon of the yellow sand; some people say that Mantenin is gentle and easygoing, and even the hardest-hearted man will willingly surrender to its tenderness. No matter how people describe it, men become great because of manning, women become charming because of manning, life is full of achievement and pride because of manning. The world is full of sunshine and love because of Manning. Perhaps this is just as life becomes great because of ideals, and life becomes extraordinary because of practice. Manning has always expressed its most unique sweetness with the most unique bitterness, as if it were life. When we first taste it, we may be surprised, no matter how much sugar can not hide the bitter taste, but we can not help ourselves and crazy infatuated with its charming aroma, like thorns on the edge of flowers, sobering and conscious.

Before you encounter real pain, Manning is just an ordinary drink with a bitter taste, a refreshing liquid, a tool to slow you down, and it can't feel your grievance yet. but there are many people who are madly infatuated with Mantenin's bitterness, as if they can't quit if they are poisoned. If you want to know why, they will smile and tell you: "because love is bitter." Manning style Manning leaping micro-acid mixed with the richest aroma, so that you can easily taste the lively factor in the mild fragrance, its outstanding taste has confused many suitors.

In the 17th century, the Dutch first introduced Arabica saplings to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and Indonesia. In 1877, a large-scale disaster hit the Indonesian islands, coffee rust destroyed almost all the coffee trees, people had to give up Arabica, which had been in operation for many years, and introduced the disease-resistant Robusta coffee tree from Africa. Indonesia today is a big coffee producer. Coffee is mainly produced in Java, Sumatra and Sulawi, with Robusta accounting for 90% of the total production. Sumatra Manning is a rare Arabica species. Planted on hillsides between 750m and 1500 m above sea level, the mysterious and unique Sumatran species give Mantenin coffee a rich aroma, rich taste, strong flavor, slightly chocolate and syrup flavor. Mantenin coffee beans have large granules and hard beans, and they are prone to defects in the process of planting. After harvest, they are usually subject to strict manual selection. If the control process is not strict enough, it is easy to cause a mixture of good and bad quality. in addition, the different degree of baking will also directly affect the taste, so it has become a more controversial single product.

Mantenin has a strong taste, with a strong mellow and rich and lively sense of movement, neither astringent nor sour, mellow and bitter can be fully revealed. 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. Manning coffee is considered to be the most mellow coffee in the world. When tasting Mantenin, you can feel obvious lubrication on the tip of the tongue and low acidity, but this acidity can also be obviously tasted. Leaping slight acid mixed with the richest 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 the aroma of herbs. The most famous coffee producers in Asia are the islands of Malaysia: Sumatra, Java and Kaliman. Sumatra manning coffee from the Indonesian island of Sumatra is the most famous, it has two famous names, Sumatra mantenin DP first class and collection Sumatra mantenin. Sumatra Mantenin DP has a long aftertaste, with a hillside fragrance, which is unique to the earthy taste of the primeval forest. In addition to the mellow taste of Indonesian coffee, there is also a bitter sweet taste, sometimes mixed with a touch of mildew, which is popular with people who like to drink concentrated roasted coffee. Sumatra manning coffee is called "classic" because it is stored in the cellar for three years before export. But the collection coffee is not old coffee, but slightly pale coffee through special treatment, this kind of coffee is more full-bodied, the acidity will decrease, but the mellowness will increase, the finish will be longer, and will bring a strong spicy flavor, sometimes sour, sometimes walnut, sometimes chocolate. Before Blue Mountain Coffee was discovered, Manning was regarded as the best coffee.

Deal with

Sellers often mark Lintong Lindong and Mandheling Manning coffee as dry. In fact, the pulp and coffee seeds are often separated by a variety of mixing modes, and the more common is a backyard wet treatment. The smart farmer put the freshly picked coffee cherries into a simple peeling machine made of scrap metal, wood and bicycle parts. Then put the peeled sticky beans in a plastic woven bag to ferment overnight. The next morning the soft pulp and slime that had been fermented were manually washed away. The silver-coated coffee is pre-dried on a sheet in the front yard and sent to the middleman's warehouse to remove the silver skin and further dry. Finally, the coffee was trucked to Port Medan in Medan, the capital of Sumatra, for the third and final drying. It is also reported that in other Mandheling Mantenin producing areas, after peeling, the sticky material is allowed to dry and attach to the beans, just like the semi-washing treatment in Brazil. Then use a machine to remove the sun-dried sticky and silver skin. Finally, it goes through the same two-stage drying, first in the middleman's warehouse and then in the exporter's warehouse in Medan's port of Medan.

The processing process and Sumatran characteristics. I describe these treatments in such detail because it is not clear how the soil and atmosphere and the unusual treatment techniques and the three-stage drying each affect the formation of the characteristics of Lindong and Manning coffee. Only one thing is certain. These treatments occasionally produce excellent coffee and are extremely unstable. Only through the merciless selection in the Medan port exporter's warehouse can the deep texture and unique and low-key rich taste of Lintong Lindong and Mandheling Mantenin emerge from the interference of other smells.
