Mantenin Coffee is produced in Lake dopa in Sumatra Province and Lake Tawa in Aceh, which is known as "Shuangman between the two lakes".

What the Shuangman of the two lakes have in common is that they are both thick and mellow. the difference is that the mantenin of Lake dopa is more stuffy, low and even has the smell of immortal grass, while Mantenin of Lake Tawa is more acidic, sometimes with a smell of cedar or wood.

Manning is not a kind of coffee beans, but more inclined to a general name, code name.

Historically, Manning coffee has a long history. In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced Arabica coffee saplings to Indonesia for the first time. In 1877, a large-scale disaster hit the Indonesian islands. Coffee rust destroyed almost all coffee trees. People had to abandon Arabica, which had been in operation for many years. Robusta coffee trees with strong disease resistance were introduced from Africa.

On February 14, 1942, the Japanese attacked Sumatra, and a month later the Netherlands surrendered. On March 15, Japanese troops captured Indonesia. However, Indonesia was successively colonized by Britain and the Netherlands, so the Indonesian people did not react strongly to the arrival of the Japanese army. One day a Japanese soldier was drinking coffee in a Sumatra cafe and thought it tasted good, so he asked the boss what kind of coffee it was. The boss mistakenly thought the Japanese soldier asked where he was from, so he replied, "Mandailing." "mandheling Coffee" was born.

Indonesia has a total of 17508 islands, large and small, the main producing areas of coffee are Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra, of which a large number of varieties are Robota, and Mantenin is also known as "Sumatran coffee". Belongs to the Arabica species (there are also some Tim species), giving most Mantenin coffee bitter, mellow thickness, slightly chocolate flavor characteristics. Therefore, as long as the coffee grown in Sumatra, no matter what kind of beans, can be called "Manning coffee".

Blue Mountain

The Blue Mountains are located in the eastern part of the island of Jamaica, hence its name because it is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. On clear days, the sun shines directly on the blue sea, and the peaks reflect the bright blue light of the sea. The highest peak of the Blue Mountains, which is 2256 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Caribbean and a famous tourist attraction. Located in the coffee belt, with fertile volcanic soil, fresh air, no pollution, humid climate, foggy and rainy all the year round (the average precipitation is 1980 mm, the temperature is around 27 degrees), such a climate has created the world-famous Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. It also creates the highest price coffee in the world. no, no, no. This kind of coffee has the characteristics of all good coffee, not only full-bodied and mellow, but also because of the perfect combination of sweet, sour and bitter coffee, it has no bitter taste at all, only a moderate and perfect sour taste. It is generally drunk on a single product, but because the output is very small and the price is extremely expensive, it is generally made with coffee with a similar taste on the market.

The real Blue Mountain Coffee is one of the most advantageous coffee growing conditions in the world. The weather, geological structure and topography of Jamaica provide a unique ideal place. Designated Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee can only be grown in the Blue Mountain area, in Kingston, Jamaica is in the eastern north of the island. Moreover, the mountain is very uneven, and the process of harvesting is very difficult (the coffee harvester is almost entirely female). The tree is mainly small grain "GeishaHighBred" type. In the steep and high-altitude mountains, careful farming and harvesting, all Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is ground, tasted and distributed by the Jamaican Industry Association.

Their coffee trees are on rugged hillsides, and the picking process is so difficult that non-local skilled female workers are simply unable to do it. It is very important to choose the right ripe coffee beans when picking. Immaturity or ripeness will affect the quality of the coffee. The picked coffee beans are shelled on the same day, and then let them ferment for 18 hours. After that, the coffee beans were cleaned and screened. The subsequent process is to dry, which must be carried out on the cement floor or on a thick blanket until the humidity of the coffee beans drops to 12% 14%. And then store it in a special warehouse. Take it out and roast when needed, then grind it into powder. These procedures must be strictly mastered, otherwise, the quality of coffee will be affected.

The Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee was established by the Government of Jamaica in 1950 to develop quality standards for Jamaican coffee and to monitor the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The Commission awarded special official seals to raw and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world. At present, there are six kinds of marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Mafis River Embankment Central Factory (M.B.C.E), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (M.H.C.C.T.), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (P.X.X.S.H.), Coffee Industry Association (Wallenford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and J.A.S.
