Sumatra manning coffee bean name source story which tastes better between manning coffee and espresso

Compared with the rich acidity of Central and South American coffee, Asian coffee mostly has wood, herb, spice and other flavors, and its low flavor is much higher than that of rising fruit acidity, among which Mantenin coffee from Indonesia is the most representative.

The Origin of Manning Coffee

Indonesia, the country of Thousand Islands, is a coffee-producing country with a long history. Coffee cultivation originated in 1696. After 300 years of development, coffee cultivation is still produced by small farmers, mainly by organic cultivation, and coffee beans are picked and selected by hand. to ensure the quality of coffee. Coffee is grown all over Indonesia, and its flavor has its own characteristics because of its different geographical environment. The elegant Arabica is mainly distributed in the higher elevations of northern Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java, although it accounts for only about 10% of Indonesia's coffee production. However, the excellent reputation of Mantenin, Golden Manning, Sulawesi Coffee and aged Manning has made Indonesian coffee famous in the boutique world for decades.

Indonesian coffee originated in Java. At present, coffee is mainly found in other islands. We often hear that Sumatra, Bali and Sulawesi are all important local coffee producing areas. Sumatran coffee is a legend in the coffee industry. It is one of the earliest large-scale coffee growers in the world, mostly from the northern province of Aceh and the province of North Sumatra to the south of Aceh. The two main producing areas revolve around the famous local volcanic lakes, Lake Toba and Lake Tawa, traditionally known as Lindong and Aceh. Volcanoes bring fertile soil to Sumatra, where coffee, usually with creamy, chocolate, earthy aromas, was discovered by the Japanese many years ago.

Legend has it that during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank mellow coffee in a cafe, so he asked the shopkeeper that the boss mistook him for asking where you were from, so he replied: Mandaining. After the war, the Japanese soldiers recalled the "Mantenin" they had drunk in Indonesia, so they asked the locals to transport 15 tons to Japan, which was very popular, and Mantenin's name came out.

The reasons for the unique flavor of Indonesian coffee

Sumatra is located at the equator, belongs to the typical island tropical rain forest climate, rainy and humid all the year round, but also prone to typhoons, coupled with the scarcity of fresh water resources. Local people can not use the traditional washing method to treat large quantities of coffee beans, let alone dry them in the sun for a long time. So in order to adapt to this extreme environment, local farmers developed a shorter treatment method-the wet planing method. The so-called wet planing is that the sheep skin wrapped in raw beans is "forcibly" planed when the skin of the sheep is not completely dry, so the raw beans are "naked" to complete the final drying.

The wet planing method is different from the traditional water washing method from the beginning of fermentation. The wet planing method uses less water and the fermentation time is short. After this short fermentation, a small part of pectin will remain on the bean shell. Coffee farmers sell coffee beans to buyers when the raw beans are dried for the first time with a moisture content of 35 prime 40%. The purchaser will shell the semi-dried shell beans directly and get raw beans by removing pectin and shell. Although the time of each link is greatly shortened, the "naked bean" still absorbs moisture from the hot and humid air, so the Mantenin coffee has more dull aromas of wood, herbs and spices. The two Mantenin coffees on the Qianjie bean list are wet-planed, which are roasted with rich chocolate, black sugar and nuts, and the aftertaste shows the tonality of herbs.

Classification of raw coffee beans in Indonesia

Wet planing brings a unique taste spectrum to Indonesian coffee, while rough handling also makes coffee beans have a higher rate of defects. if you want to reach the level of Indonesian exports, you must be screened and get rid of irregular particles.

Raw beans in Indonesia are graded according to the number and size of defective beans. Indonesia's general quality requirements are no live insects, no mildew and rotten beans, with a maximum moisture content of 12.5%. The impurity rate is less than 0.5%. According to the defect rate classification (based on 300g), the grade Grade standard is mainly divided into six levels, namely G1-G6. PWN Company, which has done the best in the screening process, strictly chooses the G1 grade Mantenin strictly according to 1 machine selection + 3 times manual selection to ensure the complete elimination of defective beans and greatly reduce the defect rate. In addition, PWN will also put the raw beans in the machine for density color separation before packaging, so as to make the golden manning coffee even and bright.

Qianjie will start with the high-quality golden Manning coffee, and after baking, we can't wait to taste this coffee through the cup test. the entrance has ultra-high cleanliness, a variety of clear aromas, obvious sweetness, mellow and solid.

Cooking suggestions:

Temperature of cooking water: 87-88 degrees

Coffee powder: 15g

The ratio of powder to water is 1:15

Filter cup: KONO filter cup

Degree of grinding: medium and coarse grinding (Chinese standard No. 20 screen pass rate 70%)

The brewing method uses three-stage water injection, which is divided into three stages to better show the mellow taste of golden Manning coffee and the sweetness of caramel.

The first stage of steaming water injection 30ml, this stage of water injection all wet coffee powder, exhaust, in order to better extract the flavor substances of coffee.

The second section is injected with 100ml, which mainly flushes out Mantenin's golden foam and raises the powder layer.

The last paragraph is gently watered with 95ml, which can improve the sweetness of the coffee.

Is Manning coffee suitable for making espresso?

First of all, Qianjie needs to emphasize that Manning Coffee is a single coffee with outstanding flavor, which can be extracted in various ways. Espresso refers to coffee beans after fine grinding and proper use of powder, the use of semi-automatic or automatic coffee machine, the use of high temperature, high pressure, extracted in a short time.

Although individual coffee can show a rich taste in hand brewing, it is not so easy to operate when it comes to Italian extract. As espresso magnifies various flavors, a slight adjustment of the parameters will affect the flavor of the coffee. For example, the bright and moderate acidity of hand-brewed coffee is easy to become sharp in Italian concentration, and the mellow taste of hand-brewed coffee is prone to bitterness in Italian coffee. Therefore, for the different extraction methods, Qianjie suggests to choose the corresponding coffee beans to avoid waste caused by too many negative flavors. Hand-made coffee is made by hand, Italian coffee is made by Italian roasting or soe coffee beans.
