Inadvertently got some 19-mesh wet Manning coffee, from the surface we can see that the freshness of this one is excellent. However, from previous experience, it is more safe to serve deeply. But the most surprising thing happened in the baking, which smelled like rose summer. Once again, it was lightly baked and brewed, and sure enough, it had a taste similar to that of rose summer. But we think that rose summer is the smell of flowers and fruits, and when it comes to this kind of beans, it is more appropriate to describe the smell of flowers and plants, but the smell of grass is not annoying. Out of curiosity, I asked the bean merchant whether Aceh began to plant rose summer. The bean merchant just laughs that it is only a local large grain variety in Indonesia, and the beans are relatively fresh if they are treated with wet planing. This answer really surprised me.

We tried to bake the wet planer Manning under 19 mesh again. It is true that light baking will produce the flavor of flowers and plants, but not as violently as the large varieties. After that, we tried to buy 20-mesh and 21-mesh varieties again, and they all had this taste, but the 20-and 21-mesh varieties were not easy to bake thoroughly, and once the 21-mesh varieties were properly baked, the floral, chocolate, sour and sweet flavors echoed each other. Once again, it subverts my understanding of Mantenin.

It was only later learned that Aceh now gives up the struggle and takes growing coffee as its main business. The output of Aceh has exceeded that of Lindong region, and in my opinion, the quality is also greatly leaping over Lindong region. This made me have to shout, "Coffee brings world peace!" "

Golden manning coffee

Gold manning is very familiar to many of our friends. But the naming of Golden Manning may not be what many friends think.

First of all, Golden Manning Coffee does not refer to the color of golden yellow, but large-size coffee beans, that is, coffee beans with more than 19 mesh, which is called Golden Manning. But as many suppliers find that there is no direct relationship between large size and taste, fewer and fewer people order gold manning.

As for why Manning's old beans are golden, it is because Medan, the coffee transfer station, is very wet (more than 80% of the tide). If you have stored coffee for more than 6 months, the reason why the coffee will return to moisture.

Grading of Sumatran coffee beans

We often hear 'Super Manning', while at the same time, Manning's coffee raw beans are of poor quality. In fact, coffee in Sumatra is graded more systematically.

As shown in the figure, in every 300g

No more than 11g with physical defects is called GR1. According to the traditional selection of raw beans in Indonesia, this has to be screened at least twice.

If there is a 12-25g defect, it is GR2. Below is GR2 in the sack.

If we see the coffee beans in the picture below, it's under GR4. Therefore, if we receive such raw beans and claim to be first-class, it is obvious that the raw bean merchants are not responsible.

Raw bean screening workshop

Of course, people will ask, if you only pick raw beans, what are the chemical defects? This is a big topic, but I have to say that there is still coffee soft power in Indonesia. Professional cup surveyors and even Q grader are very strict with the quality control system. I will elaborate on this later.

Cup test, different producing areas, different sacks, different months of harvest, different treatments. Basically this is the norm, thus tracking the quality of each production area and time.
