Introduction: Sumatran coffee, commonly known as Mantenin, comes from the Indonesian island of Sumatra, which is the second largest island in Indonesia and the sixth largest in the world, with an area of 470000 square kilometers, which is 13 times the size of Taiwan.

Although Sumatra is large, coffee is not grown all over the island, and coffee trees are planted in only eight provinces on the island.

The two northernmost provinces-Aceh and Jiangsu:

Aceh coffee is mainly produced in Lake Tawar (Lake Tawar).

In the surrounding Jiayou Mountain area (Gayo Mountain), most of the farmers in this area are local Gayo People aborigines, while coffee in Jiangsu Province is mainly produced in the Sidikalang and Lintong producing areas on the west side of the world's largest super crater lake-Lake Toba Lake, while the local farmers are mostly composed of Batak People aborigines. The production system of Sumatran coffee is unique: there are only a handful of large coffee estates on the island, replaced by tens of thousands of small farmers who not only grow and harvest their own coffee, but also take the pulpy coffee seeds out of the berries and expose them to the sun. But when the raw bean is not completely dry, the seed shell will be peeled off. The goods are collected by small, medium and large acquirers and dried in stages before they are handed over to exporters. In the hands of exporters, it is sometimes even necessary to re-sun-dry until the water content is up to standard before entering the bean-picking room to manually pick out defective beans and sundries and pack them for export after sieve classification.

This unique semi-washing method is called Giling Basah by locals.

Also known as wet stripping (wet-hulled).

This system allows coffee beans to dry at a rather slow rate.

Resulting in a unique rich texture of Sumatra.

Although a lot of manpower needs to be invested in the subsequent work to pick out defects.

But the thick style it brings is unique in the world.
