'single product series' Manning 'Single Origin'Mandheling

Indonesia's Mantenin has long been famous in Taiwan. He comes from the clay plateau near Tobahu in Sumatra, Indonesia. In fact, Manning is not the name of the producing area or manor. His name is actually a beautiful misunderstanding. During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank delicious coffee in a cafe and asked the owner the name of the coffee. Under the wrong circumstances, the master thought the soldier asked where he was from, so he answered the name of his nation. Later, the Japanese carried this coffee forward and became popular in Asia.

"Mandheling" has been a well-known coffee in Taiwan, but rarely does people know that Mandheling is actually not a coffee origin place nor a port name. It's a mistaken name from a group of people in Indonesia. In World War II, Japan occupied Indonesia. One day, a Japanese soldier ordered a cup of coffee in a local cafe and was amazed by the wonderful flavour. Therefore, he asked the owner what the coffee's name was. By accident, the owner thought the soldier was asking where he was from. Later on, this coffee became famous in Japan and Asia for its mistaken name for decades. It's actually an interesting mistake!
