Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Arabica coffee was introduced and planted during the Dutch colonial period in the 18th century, until it became the top five coffee producing country in the world in modern times. the main producing areas are Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. The northern part of Sumatra is relatively high above sea level. Aceh, where Lake Tawar is located, and North Sumatra, where Lake Toba is located, are two major Arabica coffee producing areas.

Indonesia straddles both sides of the equator, the hot and humid rainforest climate is rich in rainfall, and there are fertile volcanic loam soil that bring rich nutrients to coffee. However, due to the remote and inconvenient transportation, coffee was not planted until 1924. Most of them adopt organic cultivation with traditional shade and no pesticides. The local climate is humid, and the shelled beans are initially washed and fermented, and after 1-2 days of exposure, the moisture content of raw beans is still 30%-50%, that is, peeling off the seed shell before continuing drying, so as to shorten the drying schedule of raw beans; about 2 days of drying time, the moisture content of raw coffee beans can be reduced to 12% 13%. This unique semi-washing method in Indonesia is called Giling Basah by locals, also known as wet stripping (wet-hulled).

The Sumatran Arabica coffee, commonly known as Mantenin, comes from the local ancient aboriginal people. it is rumored that the Japanese occupied Sumatra in the 1940s, and a soldier was surprised by the coffee he drank in North Sumatra. and ask the locals what kind of coffee it is. However, due to the lack of language, the other party misunderstood him to ask him who he was, and replied that he belonged to the Mandaining tribe. Later, it became Mantenin because of the mispronunciation, which became synonymous with Sumatran coffee under the difference between yin and yang.
