Mandailing is neither the name of the Indonesian place name, the name of the producing area, the name of the port, nor the name of the coffee variety, but the mispronunciation of Mandaline, a nation that used to live in Sumatra. During World War II, a Japanese soldier was drinking coffee in Sibolga, central Tapanuli, Indonesia. When he asked the shopkeeper what kind of coffee he was drinking, the boss thought he was from, so he replied "Mandailing". When the Japanese soldier returned home after the war, he remembered that the coffee with a special flavor at that time seemed to be called "Mantenin." in 1968, Nomura Trading Company in Osaka, Japan visited the Indonesian company N. V. Pawani Medan, imported 15000 kilograms of Sumatra mantenin coffee, and was very popular after it was put on the Japanese market. since then, Mantenin Coffee and Pwangni Coffee Company have gained great fame.

Established in 1957, Indonesia's N.V. Pawani Medan (PWN) is the first Indonesian company to export coffee, rubber, cinnamon, cloves and patchouli oil. It is the first Indonesian company to export coffee from North Sumatra and 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". Pwangni Coffee Company holds the "Golden Golden Mandheling" trademark, so Japanese companies have to register the "Jinding Gold Top Mandheling" trademark separately.

Sumatra is the main producing area of Indonesian boutique coffee. The coffee system is complex and can be briefly classified into four types:

(1) Mantenin refers to half-sun or sun-dried beans around Lake Toba in north-central Sumatra and at an altitude of 9-1200 meters above sea level in the Lindong Mountains on the southwest coast.

(2) Gold Manning, after four times of manual screening, is higher than the general Mantenin, and the particles are larger.

(3) Tawahu coffee refers to the washed, semi-washed or sun-dried beans (less) in the area of Gayou Mountain near Tawahu, the northernmost region of Sumatra. The famous Raminita estate in Costa Rica teaches semi-washing technology, and the well-known Dutch coffee group mainly produces Gayou landscape washed beans.

(4) Old Manning and Java Old Brown.

It is customary to call coffee from Sumatra Mantenin, which is neither scientific nor confusing. The coffee produced by the Batak people in Lake Toba or the Lindong Mountains in north-central Sumatra is mostly grown without shade, and is mainly treated by half-sun or sun treatment, with obvious herbal and soil flavor, low acidity and muggy aroma, which is the most important feature of Mantenin coffee, so it is called Mantenin coffee. In the northernmost area of Sumatra, Tawahu or Achelle is planted by another Gaga friend in the traditional shade method, which is mainly washed or semi-washed, with a bright sour flavor and a light fragrance tone. American boutique coffee industry mostly calls this area coffee Axie Coffee, Gayoushan Coffee or Tawahu Coffee.

In short, the general "mantenin" coffee has the unique fragrance of herbs and trees, and the particle size is relatively irregular; the "golden mantenin" coffee of Indonesia's Pwangni coffee company or the "Jinding mantenin" coffee of the Japanese company are mellow and bright. Caramel is more sweet, fruit acidity is more bright and elegant, and there is almost no herbal, earthy and woody taste of Mantenin. Manning coffee is suitable for medium and low roasting, which can reduce miscellaneous flavor, while gold manning has a wider roasting range.
