Varieties, prices and flavor characteristics of Sumatra gold Mantenin coffee beans

As one of the rations bean coffee in Qianjie, Mantening Coffee is selected as the representative of Indonesian coffee in Qianjie, and it is the entry bean for everyone to taste Asian coffee. We can see its importance and how representative the flavor is. Golden manning coffee is one of the most popular boutique items on the front street. Some people say that drinking golden manning coffee can give people an aftertaste all day. It can be seen how memorable the taste is. The flavor of Golden Manning Coffee is cleaner, the taste is corrected, and it is more mellow than Manning Coffee. If Mantenin Coffee is the boutique coffee of Indonesia, then Golden Manning Coffee is the boutique of Indonesian boutique coffee.

Sumatran Coffee introduction

Manning Coffee is synonymous with Indonesian coffee and is mainly grown in Sumatra. Sumatra is not only the largest island in Indonesia, but also the sixth largest in the world. It is located in the northwest of Indonesia. Because of its location, Sumatra has the earliest harvest season in the country-from November to March.

Before Blue Mountain Coffee became famous, Manning Coffee was the most mellow coffee in the world. It has a strong mellow and fragrant and lively sense of movement, neither astringent nor sour, mellow and bitter can be fully revealed. It has a distinct taste of Asian coffee. Of course, some people have been excluded from drinking it for the first time, because they are not used to the taste of the herb, but some people fall in love with this flavor as soon as they drink it, and think that it is a very masculine feeling and worth tasting! In front of the street, it was found that most of the people who like to drink manning coffee are male friends, but now female friends are also in love with manning coffee.

The most famous coffee producers in Asia are the islands of Malaysia: Sumatra, Java and Kaliman. Sumatra manning coffee from the Indonesian island of Sumatra is the most famous, it has two famous names, Sumatra mantenin DP first class and collection Sumatra mantenin. Sumatra Mantenin DP has a long aftertaste, with a hillside fragrance, which is unique to the earthy taste of the primeval forest.

Golden manning coffee

Qianjie just said that if Mantenin coffee is Indonesia's boutique coffee, then golden manning coffee is the boutique of Indonesian boutique coffee. Why do you say that? Let's see. Sumatra, Indonesia is the main producing area of Indonesian boutique Arabica coffee beans. When we talk about Mantenin coffee, we refer to the area near Tobahu in the north-central part of Sumatra island, which is 900-1600m above sea level in Aceh, the northernmost part of Sumatra. The suitable altitude and tropical rain forest climate make the average temperature on the island between 25-28 ℃, with uniform seasonal distribution and no drought period, creating a very good growing environment for coffee trees.

Since Golden Manning Coffee is the boutique of Indonesian boutique coffee, it must be obviously different. Of course, although it is better than mantrin coffee, it is not a grade, but a synonym for quality assurance. It is a registered trademark of the Indonesian coffee company N.V. Pawani Medan (PWN), which was founded in 1957. It is engaged in the export of Indonesian products such as coffee, rubber, cinnamon, cloves and patchouli oil, and is the first Indonesian company to export coffee from North Sumatra. It was also the first company to make Manning Coffee famous in Japan. Since 1977, the company has focused on the export of premium coffee beans, Sumatran Arabica coffee Manning I and Robusta coffee AP-I II, mainly to Japan, Taiwan and the United States, of which Japan and Taiwan account for more than 95%. In Japan and Taiwan, "PWN" has become synonymous with "quality assurance".

Qianjie Coffee currently sells gold manning coffee beans from PWN. PWN gold Mantenin coffee beans will be hand-selected at least three times after harvest and drying to ensure that the specifications of coffee beans are more than 18 and there are less than 3 defective beans (300g raw bean samples), belonging to the highest grade G1. PWN is dark green in color and is a neatly shaped flat bean.

Golden manning coffee variety

The gold manning of Qianjie Coffee season is produced in the GAYO Mountains in Aceh, North Sumatra. The variety is Ateng, and Ateng is a hybrid between Arabica and Robusta, widely cultivated in Sumatra and other Indonesian islands. Ateng is actually the local name for Catimor coffee. Golden Manning has more stringent requirements for quality, first of all, to ensure that the size of coffee beans is 19 mesh, and the particles are full and uniform. Then we have to go through one machine selection and three manual selection to ensure the defect rate of raw beans.

Ateng is actually the local name for Catimor coffee. Katim was in 1959, when the Portuguese moved the Brazilian bourbon mutant Kadura to East Timor to mix with Tim, who is of Robusta ancestry, which has ultra-high disease resistance, three times the capacity of a tin pickup. During the leaf rust crisis, the Indonesian government not only introduced Robusta (its flavor is very different from Arabica), but also introduced Tim to East Timor to replace the iron pickup. After the investigation of later experts, a batch of Tim seeds introduced by the Indonesian government in 1980 were mixed with some Katim seeds, which were planted in Aceh in northern Sumatra. The area that Katim first detected in Indonesia is central Aceh, so locals also call Katim Ateng, taken from Aceh Tengah (central Aceh).

Mount Azigayo is in the northernmost corner of Sumatra. The coffee cultivation of Mount Jiayu is mainly around the hillside of the town of Takegon and Lake Tawa. The average height in the production area is between 1100 and 1600 meters, and the quality of its coffee has always been excellent, but due to previous political instability, it is difficult to export coffee in this area. In recent years, the situation is peaceful, the cultivation of coffee in Aceh has also been developed, and the quality is also better than that in Lindong.

Golden Manning Coffee treatment:

Qianjie said that the flavor of coffee is not only the variety and the local climate, but also the influence of the treatment method. And the treatment is generally carried out according to the local actual situation, of course, with the promotion of fine coffee, there are many treatment methods, such as: honey treatment, anaerobic treatment and so on, but they are all carried out on the most basic water washing and sun treatment. Wet planing treatment of Wet Hulling coffee: due to Indonesia's muggy climate and lack of water, Indonesian farmers have developed a better way to dry coffee beans-wet planing, also known as wet shelling, in order to better peel and dry coffee beans in the case of saving water. In the process of wet planing, drying quickly and removing parchment drying are its characteristics. Teacher Han Huaizong described it as "this is also a rare treatment in the world, accidentally creating Mantenin's special low-acid, thick and smelly flavor." And Golden Manning Coffee is also wet-soaked.

Qianjie believes that gold mantenin is a unique boutique coffee in Indonesia, and the carefully selected gold mantenin has a full appearance of each bean and a strong aroma, and the taste is more round and mellow than that of ordinary mantenin. After drinking, the end will bring a slightly sweet taste!

So how to make this golden manning coffee bean by hand?

In the article in Qianjie, we have talked about the relationship between roasting and hand flushing of coffee beans. Light-roasted coffee beans are different from deep-roasted coffee beans in using water temperature and filter cup. The golden manning coffee belongs to deep-baked beans, the water temperature should not be too high, choose Kono cup. The water temperature is low because you do not want to extract too much miscellaneous flavor. When Qianjie coffee chooses deep roasting, too many aromatic substances have been released. If you continue to use shallow roasting water temperature extraction, it will lead to over-extraction. The reason why Qianjie coffee chooses the Kono filter cup is that the flow rate of the V60 filter cup is too fast, and under the condition of low water temperature, it is easy to lack of extraction, while the Kono filter cup has few ribs and is located at the low end, and the filter paper clings to the filter cup, which can limit the airflow, increase the contact time between water and coffee powder, and make the coffee powder fully extracted to enhance the mellow taste.

Qianjie brewing golden manning coffee parameters:

Water temperature: 88 ℃, powder quantity: 15 g, ratio of powder to water: 1:15, degree of grinding: medium and fine grinding (pass rate of No. 20 sieve 75%).

The use of segmented extraction, with twice the amount of coffee powder water for steaming, that is, 30 grams of water for 30 seconds, and the reason for the need for steaming process is to make coffee powder can discharge the internal carbon dioxide gas, so that the latter stage of the extraction is better stable. When the small water is injected around the circle to 125 grams, continue to inject water to 225 grams, and then remove the filter cup after the dripping of the filter cup. The time is calculated from the beginning of the water injection, and the extraction time is 2 times 39 grams. Next, pick up the whole cup of coffee and shake it well, then pour it into the cup to taste.

[PWN Gold Manning Coffee Flavor]: the overall level of coffee is varied, mellow and clean, with rich nutty and caramel aromas, chocolate aromas, a long finish and a high sense of balance.

Suggestion on brewing coffee in Qianjie

Of course, for coffee brewing, Qianjie has always thought that the freshness of coffee beans is very important. The coffee beans shipped in Qianjie are all roasted within 5 days, because Qianjie is well aware that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The purpose of Qianjie roasting is "freshly roasted coffee", so that every guest who places an order is the freshest coffee when he receives it. The bean cultivation period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so when the guest gets it, it is the time when the flavor is the best.

Of course, there are some customers who need help grinding powder in front of the street, which doesn't matter, but Qianjie has to warn: if the coffee beans are ground ahead of time, there is no need to raise the beans, because in the process of transportation, the pressure caused by carbon dioxide in the package can also make the coffee flavor mellow, so when you receive the coffee powder, you can immediately make a cup of coffee drink. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes more quickly after contact with the air, that is to say, the flavor of the coffee will dissipate more quickly, and the flavor of the coffee is not so good. Therefore, Qianjie suggests buying whole beans, grinding and flushing now, so that we can better taste the flavor of coffee.

Mantenin coffee is one of the former street food bean coffee, is the best representative of Indonesian coffee, although the taste of golden manning coffee is better than manning coffee, Qianjie believes that if you want to try Indonesian coffee, you might as well try manning coffee first. and then taste the golden manning coffee, so you'll have a more intuitive judgment. Of course, there are also flowers and fruit sour coffee from Ethiopia, caramel-flavored coffee from Brazil nuts, and so on. There are more than 50 kinds of rations and single bean coffee in different producing areas, and different coffee flavors reflect the culture of different coffee producing areas.
