In recent years, many consumers often ask what is the difference between "Manning" and "Golden Manning" coffee beans.

On the Indonesian island of Sumatra? why is there such a big difference in price between "Mantenin" and "Golden Manning"?

Manning and Golden Manning? Part 1

Before Blue Mountain Coffee came out, some people called Coffee Mandheling Coffee the number one coffee in the world, especially in Asia.

But also to have a place. At present, the definition of "manning" in Taiwan's coffee market is a little confused, not to mention the high unit price of beans such as gold manning.

Manning can be said to be one of the most difficult quality coffee beans in boutique coffee. To understand the difference between Manning and Golden Manning, one must first know Mant.

Ning's definition of Indonesia-[Mandheling] is a translation of homonyms from a [Mandaling] family on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

At present, most of the Arabica coffee beans grown in North Sumatra (including Aceh in Aceh) can be called Manning coffee.

Many local coffee farmers in Indonesia hardly know what Mantenin coffee is, because most of the farmers on the Indonesian island of Sumatra are called by producing areas + coffee varieties.

For example, Arabica in Sidikalang or Arabica in Lintong.

Although the name Coffee Mandheling coffee has a long history in the world, it is printed in India.

In fact, there are different perceptions in Nepal. For example, coffee factories are generally sold internationally, and the internationally recognized Mantenin coffee is Arabica beans, which is generally called

Manning Arabica (Arabica Mandheling), but some local companies in Indonesia are also selling Manning Robusta (Mandheling Robusta).

However, of course, this is a minority, and the possible reason may be that the real Manning people are selling or the coffee beans produced in Manning County are unknown.

Generally speaking, in order to avoid confusion, most of the export signs will be marked as Arabica Mandheling.

As for Mantenin's export to Indonesia, there are two main types of exports:

1. Arabica Mandheling (Manning) 2. Lin Dong Manning (Arabica Lintong)

At present, almost all grades in Indonesia can be exported: that is, from Grade 1 (defect degree below 11:00) to Grade 6 (defect degree 151 to 225).

Sometimes there is Low Grade (that is, the defect is between Grade 6 and Pixel, which means there are more beans), and finally there is Pixel (coffee defects, mostly black beans).

, moldy beans, coffee shells, branches, etc. Large quantities of coffee exported to Europe and the United States are generally first-grade coffee (Grade 1, which many people in Taiwan call G1).

Of course, because of the special needs of some markets, some will set the rating to zero defect 0%, which is not impossible, or Double Pick, Triple Pick and fourth hand picking, etc.

In fact, traders are in accordance with the standards set by their own sales market.

But basically, even if you pick it by hand four times, the exit will still write Grade 1, which is one of the reasons why many people think that the quality of the G1 often changes.

In the past, the producing area of gold manning was in Lintong, so Indonesian exporters generally call it manning unless there is a designated Lintong.

Most of the coffee beans come from Aceh and Takengnon, and of course some are from Lintong.

However, because there are too many exporters, which producing area Mantenin is from sometimes depends on the practices of different manufacturers.

Interestingly, you will know that Mandheling is famous for the gold manning produced by Lintong in this area, but in Indonesia, if you want to buy manning,

Most of the coffee will be from Aceh, but some of it will come from Lintong, and it depends on how the manufacturers buy it.

Therefore, it is very common for coffee factories in Indonesia to mix Mantenin coffee in different producing areas or different seasons, but there are also Mantenin coffee that is simple and simple.

What is acquired in the production area is not necessarily cheap and not good.

Manning, Golden Manning? Part 2

In recent years, Gayo has become more and more famous, especially in Takengon near Lake Tawar Lake, which is also famous for producing organic Gayo Mantenin.

In the complete Book of Coffee self-baking, it is written that the coffee producing area of Gayo revolves around Lake Biwa Lake in Aceh province, and the correct name of that lake should be Lake Tawa.

(Lake Tawar). Biwa should be the freshwater Pipa Lake in Japan. But Tawar also means freshwater lake in Indonesian.

In fact, in Lintong or Indonesia's higher altitude producing areas or old producing areas, many of them are organic. Apart from the organic proof, they are actually planted in coffee trees by farmers.

Other crops are also related, some crops must use fertilizers or pesticides. Most people who grow chili peppers may use more chemical fertilizers.

In recent years, coffee roasters in Asia are picky and regard defective beans as the culprit of the quality of coffee beans, requiring not only large particles but also moth-eating.

The producing areas and types of coffee also began to transfer.

In recent years, county governments in Sumatra, Indonesia have begun to regard coffee cultivation as a major agricultural development project, and many emerging low-altitude areas have also begun to grow coffee.

Some new coffee producing areas do not have complete shade trees, so they mature faster, and the coffee produced by the new coffee trees is also larger, as for the easiest way to solve the problem of worm-eaten beans.

Style is the use of pesticides, but some coffee farmers still have to use it in order to sell well and have a good harvest.

This type of demand returns to changes in supply, and sometimes we don't think it's a good sign.

We believe that coffee in Indonesia should not be judged solely by particle size. In addition, we can look at the part of worm-eaten beans from another point of view, just as everyone can now.

Choose to buy alpine vegetables with insect bites, indicating that they are not sprayed with pesticides.
