Sumatra Island is Indonesia's largest island, located above the equator, belongs to tropical rain forest climate, high temperature and humidity, rainfall, coffee farmers are usually planted in the primitive mountains, water resources are very precious, so the local development of a unique "wet stripping" staged drying method (Giling Basah, Wet hulling), through this treatment, Sumatra coffee added a different flavor from other regions. Indonesia produces 25% Arabica and 75% Robusta, while fine Arabica coffee from northern Sumatra is marketed as Lintong and Mandheling.

Origin History

Arabica saplings were first introduced to Java by the Dutch in the 17th century and gradually expanded to Sumatra and other Indonesian islands. In 1877, a large-scale rust disease hit the Indonesian islands, almost destroyed the cultivation and low-altitude Arabica trees, many farmers had to give up the Arabica coffee trees that had been operating for many years, and imported the robusta coffee trees with strong disease resistance from Africa. Only a few high-altitude areas still cultivate Arabica trees, and these remaining Arabica trees are the ancestors of the mantinin and Lindong coffee that are now famous for their unique flavors.

Sumatra mantinin is grown on an average plateau at an altitude of 1,200- 1,500 meters, where abundant rainfall and volcanic soils conducive to coffee cultivation produce premium mantinin beans.
