If you ask: what kind of coffee do you like? Maybe a lot of people will answer: Manning. However, how many people know that Manning is neither the name of the producing area, nor the name of the place or port, nor the name of the coffee variety, but evolved from a misunderstanding.

On February 14, 1942, during the Japanese occupation of Indonesia in World War II, Japanese troops attacked Sumatra, and the Netherlands surrendered a month later. On March 15, Japanese troops captured Indonesia. However, Indonesia was successively colonized by Britain and the Netherlands, so the Indonesian people did not react strongly to the arrival of the Japanese army. One day a Japanese soldier was drinking coffee in a Sumatra cafe and felt so delicious that he asked the shopkeeper the name of the coffee. The boss mistakenly thought the Japanese soldier asked where he was from, so he replied "Mandailing".

"mandheling Coffee" was born. 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.

This is also the initial reason why there are more people who drink manning in Japan.

As a result, some people will also say that Manning is "Sumatran coffee", belonging to the Arabica species (and some of the Tim species). This beautiful island gives Manning coffee a very special flavor, which is significantly different from that of African coffee. It is bitter, mellow and thick, and often has a chocolate flavor.

Compared with the sour, refreshing beans of African citrus, Manning is more like an uncle who has experienced the vicissitudes of life and has a lot of stories and profound details. So it's not surprising that many mature men like to drink manning.

Is gold manning better?

Many people who are new to boutique coffee will ask, is Golden Manning a better Manning? In fact, this is not entirely the case.

When it comes to Golden PWN, the acronym is often mixed with the name of Manning Coffee, which is actually a company's acronym Pwani Coffee Company. This company is a very famous coffee purchasing company in Indonesia, mainly buying Manning Coffee. It has acquired almost all the best producing areas in Indonesia, so most of the beans produced by PWN are fine products.

Gold mantenin is the product produced by this company. After the acquisition of raw beans, the beans are selected by hand to select the full and flawless beans. Finally, these beans can be divided into golden mantenins as if they had gone through a draft. But PWN registered Gold Manning as a trademark, and it has since become a brand rather than a grade.

Gold manning is one of the best products in manning. More than a decade ago, the Japanese adopted more stringent quality control, and after four times of manual careful selection of beans, they removed defective beans and produced golden Mantenin with full particles, clear and moist color and uniform appearance of beans, creating another wave of market demand. Even Europe and the United States are crazy about it. There is no doubt that Golden Manning is absolutely the most beautiful woman in coffee.

What exactly should Manning taste like?

Some people say that Manning has a strong flavor, so it is impossible to have a sour taste, but must be very bitter. This is not the case. As a fruit, it is normal for coffee to be sour. And in fact, good manning, especially in high-altitude mountain areas, is not low in acidity if it is baked at medium to shallow levels. But Mantenin's main flavor tonality is relatively sinking, so most bean bakers will choose a medium-to-deep baking zone to highlight its caramel and even tobacco, at this time, in most cases the sour taste will be suppressed almost imperceptibly.

When tasting Mantenin, you can feel obvious lubrication on the tip of the tongue, it also has a low acidity, but this acidity can also be clearly tasted, jumping micro-acid mixed with the richest aroma, so that you can easily feel the lively factor in the mild fragrance. In addition, this coffee has a faint earthy aroma, and some people describe it as the aroma of herbs.

Manning contains a kind of masculinity, drinking with a feeling of dripping, wanton and gallop, which fascinates men and symbolizes a great spirit of tenacity and boldness. Some people say that Manning is thick and strong, the Caesar in the coffee, whose iron hoofs are broken into the ancient desolation, across the distant horizon of the yellow sand.

For professional coffee eaters and taste-sensitive coffee lovers, if you drink gold Manning and Manning G1 coffee at the same time, the result will be very obvious. Huang Man's sweetness and cleanliness. Mellow, wild spice flavor is slightly better than the G1, which is one of the reasons why Huangman is much more expensive than the G1.

So generally speaking, if you like sweet and bitter coffee, there is nothing wrong with choosing Manning. But don't be surprised if you drink something a little sour, it's probably a light baked manning.
