Last Updated: 2025/08/21, Professional barista communication please pay attention to the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style) Indonesia Manning coffee treatment generally adopts semi-washing method, coffee farmers harvest mature coffee beans, remove the external peel and pulp but retain the thin film tissue on the coffee beans, remove the poor beans that do not bear fruit and float on the water surface through the process of immersion and fermentation, while the strong and sunken beans carry the surface.

Gold Manning is a product of PWN and a famous coffee brand in Indonesia.

Qianjie believes that there is no doubt about the status of this coffee in boutique coffee, and it is also a kind of coffee that must be drunk in boutique coffee. Gold manning is a very strict screening system set by PWN in order to distinguish its own company's manning from other mantenins. Therefore, only PWN produces the real gold Manning. Gold manning has a very rich and rich aroma with black and caramel aromas, and it is more mellow and cleaner than ordinary mantenin on the palate. Because of Golden Manning's strict screening system and outstanding popularity, this coffee occupies an important position in the international coffee market.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Arabica tree species coffee was introduced and planted as early as the Dutch rule in the 18th century. The main producing areas are Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, which produce the mellow and sour taste of Mantenin, which makes people call it "the most important coffee in the world". Among them, Sumatra has the largest output, and the largest producing area is Aceh province in the north.

Golden Manning "battle for battle"

We all know that the Japanese like to refine and specialize in research, especially in the field of food, Manning coffee is promoted by the Japanese. In order to improve the high characteristics of defective beans in Mantenin, they developed a strict screening system. After density color separation, the processed raw beans had to be picked manually for four times in order to show a golden mantenin with uniform color and uniform shape. After strict screening, Golden Manning not only does not have the unique soil flavor of ordinary Manning, but also tastes cleaner and brighter, and the fragrance and sweetness is stronger.

Golden manning coffee has been registered as a trademark, but the registrant is not a Japanese company, but is one step ahead of an Indonesian company, namely PWN (Pwani Coffee Company), and then the Japanese company is forced to change to "Gold Top Mandheling", that is, the gold manning. The difference between the two can be seen slightly in the bean shape, the PWN company is mainly the old tin truck, the bean shape is larger, while the one on the tripod is mainly a variety of tin truck, the bean shape is smaller. In terms of flavor, it is a matter of opinion which is better or worse.

Special treatment

As the local weather is often dominated by Rain Water, with continuous typhoons, it is impossible to achieve the good weather needed for the sun, and the local economy is not good, so it is also impossible to use the more expensive way of washing. For various reasons, the wet planing method with local characteristics is derived (the wet planing method is to dry the parchment in the sun for 2-3 days with a water content of 20-24% to remove the parchment during the ordinary washing process.

The ultra-fast speed of wet planing also causes Manning to have a higher defect rate, and Golden Manning can avoid this shortcoming very well. The specification of Gold Manning is more than 19 mesh, and there are less than 3 defective beans (300g raw bean samples). It belongs to the highest grade G1, the color is dark green, and it is a neat flat bean.

How to tell the difference between Manning and Golden Manning? Qianjie Coffee introduces the characteristics of Golden Manning Coffee.

Qianjie coffee brewing and sharing

Qianjie coffee brewed Mantenin coffee beans, in order to ensure its fairness, so try to unify the brewing parameters. Use medium and deep roasted coffee beans.

Mantenin cooking parameters

Kono filter cup, 1:15 powder / water ratio, 15g powder content, 88 ℃ water temperature, grindability (standard sieve 20 pass rate 70-75%)

Brewing and cooking techniques:

Staged extraction, steaming with 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, small water injection around the circle to 125g for stages, water level drop is about to reveal the powder bed, continue water injection to 225g to stop water injection, and so the water level drop is about to expose the powder bed when the filter cup is removed, (steaming starts timing) V60 filter cup extraction time is 2 times 39 leaves 00 ", Kono filter cup extraction time is slightly longer, 2 grams 39 lives 10".

Golden Manning flavor description: changeable layers, mellow and clean, high sense of balance, rich nutty and caramel aromas, with chocolate aromas and a long finish.

Lin Dong Manning flavor description: imported herbal flavor, dark chocolate, caramel, sweet back.

Conclusion: the difference between Golden Manning and Lin Dong Manning actually lies in the selection of beans. Golden Manning has been screened four times, which will put an end to the appearance of defective beans, and will be cleaner in flavor and less of soil odor. On the other hand, Lin Dong Mantenin is the most primitive Mantenin in Lindong producing area, and its quality is slightly worse than that of Gold Manning, and it is not so strict in screening, but it still has a very good flavor of Indonesian local coffee. Therefore, Qianjie Coffee also uses Lindong Mantenin as rations to introduce Indonesian coffee beans to novice coffee fans.
