The origin of the name of Manning coffee

Manning is not the name of the producing area, the place name, the port name, nor the name of the coffee breed. How did it get its name?

In fact, it is a phonetic error of the mandheling people in Mandaining, Indonesia.

During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank mellow coffee in a cafe, so he asked the shopkeeper the name of the coffee, and the boss mistook him for asking where you were from, so he replied: Mandaining. After the war, the Japanese soldiers recalled the "manning" they had drunk in Indonesia. As a result, 15 tons of Indonesian coffee were transported to Japan, which was surprisingly popular. That's how Manning's name came out, and the coffee merchant is now the famous PWN Coffee Company.

After picking beans manually for four times, they eliminated defective beans and produced gold mantenin with dark green color and equal appearance of beans, creating another wave of market demand.

The sour ingredients are ripe and converted to sugar, making the coffee more round and sweeter to drink. Manning is like a coffee carcass in the old age of failure, and the taste is hard to taste.
