The source of Manning

Mandenin is not the name of the producing area, the place name, the port name, nor the name of the coffee breed. The origin of its name is actually a phonetic error of the Mandaining mandheling people in Indonesia. Mantening Coffee during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank mellow coffee in a cafe, so he asked the shopkeeper the name of the coffee, and the owner mistakenly thought he was asking where you were from, so he replied: Manning. After the war, the Japanese soldiers recalled the "manning" they had drunk in Indonesia. As a result, 15 tons of Indonesian coffee was transported to Japan, which was very popular. That's how Manning's name came out.

Manning is divided into all kinds of place names, such as Lin Dong Manning and Golden Manning and so on. What is the difference between them? Locals, coffee beans widely grown in Sumatra and other Indonesian islands are almost all called Mantenin, which are used to distinguish between different regions according to different regions and raw bean merchants. There are a total of four types of front street coffee: Lin Dong Manning, Golden Manning, Tiger Manning and Old Manning.

What is the G1, G2, G3, G4 grading method?

Indonesian coffee beans are classified according to the proportion of defective beans. Indonesian beans are mainly divided into six grades, namely G1~G6.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Arabica tree species coffee was introduced and planted as early as the Dutch rule in the 18th century. The main producing areas are in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. The deep, low-acidity and rich taste of Mantenin makes people call it "the most important coffee in the world". Among them, Sumatra has the largest output, and the largest producing area is Aceh in the north.

The southeast of Sumatra faces Java across the Sunda Strait, the north faces the Malay Peninsula across the Strait of Malacca, the east borders Borneo through the Strait of Kalimada (Karimata), and the west borders the Indian Ocean.

Tibika was transplanted from India to Indonesia at the end of the 17th century. After hundreds of years of cultivation, a variant of Tibika has been developed in Sumatra. It is smaller than the native species, but it retains the delicacy of Tiebika. Mantenin coffee beans have large granules and hard beans, and they are prone to defects in the process of planting. After harvest, they are usually subject to strict manual selection. If the control process is not strict enough, it is easy to cause a mixture of good and bad quality. in addition, the different degree of baking will also directly affect the taste, so it has become a more controversial single product.

Mantenin, also known as Sumatran Coffee, is produced in Lake dopa in Sumatra Province and Lake Tawa in Aceh. This is the famous "Shuangman of the two lakes".

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Arabica tree species coffee was introduced during the Dutch rule in the 18th century. The main producing areas are located in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, southeast of Sumatra and Java across the Sunda Strait, north across the Strait of Malacca and Malay Peninsula, east across the Strait of Kalimada adjacent to Borneo, west bordering on the Indian Ocean.

About [Lake Toba]

Mantenin, also known as "Sumatran Coffee", the hometown of high-quality Manning, the Toba Lake District, is located at the northern end of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

Lake Toba (Indonesian: Danau Toba, English: Lake Toba) is a volcanic lake located in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. The lake is diamond-shaped, 100km long and 30km wide, covering an area of 1130 square kilometers, with an average elevation of about 900m. It is also the largest volcanic lake in the world.

Lake Lintong, located in the central part of North Sumatra Province, was moved northward to Lake dopa by Dutch colonists in 1888. The area between Lintong and Lake Toba (Medan) in South Sumatra can be called Mantenin, which is produced in the mountains around Lake Toba. The lake is located in the north of Medan, the capital of Sumatra, and belongs to alpine freshwater lakes. The average height is about 900 meters above sea level. Mantenin usually refers to Tibica or its variants of coffee beans grown in the mountains around Lake Toba.

[about Lake Tawa]

Lake Tawa is located in the Gayo mountains north of Aceh province in Sumatra.

Lake Tawa is located in the middle of the Aceh Special Administrative region. Located in the northern tip of Sumatra, North Sumatra produces mostly Gayo. Lake Tawa, which is dominated by ateng, can be called Aceh Coffee or Lake Tawa (Tawar lake) coffee. The area is less than 1/10 of Lake dopa. However, the quality and output of coffee have surpassed that of Lake dopa in recent years.

02 | processing method

Wet planing, also known as wet shelling Wet Hulling, also known as Giling Basah in the local language, is a traditional Indonesian coffee treatment. Judging from the name alone, the wet planing method is very similar to the wet treatment (water washing treatment). However, the cup flavor of the two treatments is very different. The coffee treated by the wet planing method is usually mellow and strong, and the personality is very distinct.
