Mantenin coffee beans come from Sumatra, Indonesia in Asia, also known as "Sumatra coffee beans". The flavor is very rich, with fragrance, bitterness, a little sweetness, and even a slight sour taste, which is very comfortable and not exciting.

The name "manning coffee" is very different from other coffee beans. It is not the name of the producing area, place name, port name, or even the name of the coffee variety (such as Yegashifi or Sidamo is an African name). His name is just a phonetic error of the Indonesian mandheling people.

Why does this nation have anything to do with coffee? As a matter of fact, there is a legendary saga.

During World War II, Japan occupied Indonesia, and one of the Japanese soldiers drank extremely good coffee in a coffee shop. He immediately asked the shopkeeper the name of this cup of coffee, but because of the language gap, the shopkeeper thought he was asking, "where are you from?" So I answered: "mandheling".

Arabica coffee was introduced and planted during Dutch rule in the 18th century. Mantenin is called 'the most important coffee in the world'. It is the fourth largest producer in the world with an annual output of 7 million bags, of which Arabica accounts for only 10-15%. The main producing areas are located in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi Island. Coffee is harvested twice a year in June and October, respectively. The size of the coffee farm is not about 1-3 hectares, with an average area of only 1.44 hectares. coffee beans are almost the only crop on these small lands, the main source of income for 5 million local people, and there are few estates or cooperatives. Acquired by Indonesian state or private companies.
