Manning is produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, Asia, also known as "Sumatran Coffee".

The main producing areas are Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra, 90% of which are Robusta species. Among them, the "Mantelin" produced in Sumatra is the most famous. The best of the exquisite traditional Arabica coffee produced in northern Sumatra of Sumatra is sold as Lindong Lintong and Manning Mandheling.

Lindong Lintong refers to coffee grown in a small area southwest of Lake Toba in Lindong District. The small coffee growing area is scattered on a high and wavy clay plateau full of fern covers. Lintong Lindong Coffee is grown without shade, does not use chemicals, and is almost entirely owned by small private owners.

Mandheling Manning is a broader term that includes Lintong Lindong Coffee and similar conditions in the Diari [capital Sidikalang], the northern growing area of Lake Toba.

Manning is not the name of producing area, place name, port, or coffee variety, but the origin of its name.

In fact, it is a phonetic error of the mandheling people in Mandaining, Indonesia.

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 boss mistook him for asking where you were from, so he replied: Mandaining. After the war, the Japanese soldiers recalled the "manning" they had drunk in Indonesia. 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 famous PWN Coffee Company.

Known as Mantenin mandheling, it is produced all over Lake Toba in northern Sumatra. Its greatest feature is the unique fragrance of herbs and trees.

Gold Mantenin, the Japanese adopted more stringent quality control more than a decade ago. After picking beans manually for four times, they eliminated defective beans and produced golden mantenin with dark green color and equal appearance of beans.

Old manning Agedmandheling, said to be as sweet as honey. The successful old bean has worn away Manning's inelegant sour taste. The sour ingredients are ripe and converted to sugar, making the coffee more round and sweeter to drink. Manning is like a coffee zombie in the old age of failure, and the taste is hard to taste. But I haven't tried.
