Indonesia introduced Arabica coffee during Dutch rule in the 18th century. Mantenin, known as the 'most important coffee in the world', is the fourth largest producer in the world with an annual output of 7 million bags, of which Arabica accounts for only 10-15%. The main producing areas are in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi.

The coffee in Sumatra is called Mantenin, which is neither a coffee breed nor a producing area, but it is actually the name of a local race. Lindong is a small town near Lake Toba, which is the largest volcanic lake in the world. The hinterland is very large, so the quality of coffee varies greatly from the north to the east. And this is Mantenin, the highest grade coffee in the Lindong producing area.

This area is flat at an altitude of about 1300-1600 meters, and the soil fertility is moderately rich in organic matter. Most coffee trees are shaded and planted. Traditionally, shade trees can maintain moisture and increase soil fertility. Most coffee women carry out weeding and fertilization with their bare hands, and coffee cherries are harvested and removed artificially when they turn red and mature. Wet pods are placed in a plastic bag for 10-12 hours to ferment, and then pectin, floats and shells are removed manually, rarely using a machine. Unlike Central and South America, Indonesian coffee beans have a unique semi-aqueous method, called Giling Basah treatment (the same as Wet Hulled Process).

Coffee beans treated with Giling Basah have low acidity and thick Body.
