1696-1699 years

The Dutch East India Company transplanted Ceylon's tin card to Java, opening the Indonesian coffee industry.

in 1835

Dutch merchant ships shipped iron-pickup saplings from Java (Java has the same name as a programming language, and the logo for this programming language is a coffee cup) to the west coast of Sumatra and the Mandenin Heights.

1880-1890 years

The Dutch replanted the more resistant Robusta species locally, but the Mandenin highlands were less affected and became the main production area of Indonesian iron pickups.

in 1888

Arabica began to be introduced to the cooler Lake Toba region of Northern Jiangsu Province, with saplings from the Mandaining Highlands. The Mandenin Highlands gradually became a Robusta region.

In Indonesia, there are rare micro-batches with almost zero defects. Toba Lake Nihuta District in Lindong is not only high in altitude but also the best in surrounding terroir conditions. The coffee planted is clean, and the flavor, sweetness and fruit are quite obvious. In addition, many hand-selected micro-batches (TP) make the aftertaste still clean after cooling down.

Sumatra's best coffee comes from two places: the Aceh region near Lake Tawar in northern Sumatra and the mountains surrounding Lake Toba in the south. Due to the large number of smallholder producers and their unique semi-washing methods and the iron deficiency of the soil, coffee beans in this area will have a distinctive blue color at the fresh green stage.

Sumatra Island is Indonesia's second largest island and the sixth largest island in the world. It covers an area of 470,000 square kilometers, thirteen times the size of Taiwan. It is divided into eight provinces, but only two provinces are heavily cultivated with coffee--Aceh Province and Subei Province. The most representative coffee producing areas in these two provinces are Lake Tawar in Aceh Province. The Gayo Mountain surrounding Lake Tawar is a coffee plantation of the indigenous Gayo People, a culture characterized by female farming and harvesting. Coffee is grown around Lake Toba in northern Jiangsu Province. This lake is very large and is the largest volcanic lake in the world. The famous producing area is Lintong producing area to the south of Lake Toba.

Under this semi-wet and semi-dry peeling water washing method, coffee farm machines remove the skin and pulp of red cherry fruits. Coffee beans still have a lot of mucus on them, and then they are stored in fermentation tanks for about one day (24 hours). When fermentation is completed, the attached mucus is easily washed away with water. Then sun drying to about 30% to 35% moisture content, remove the shell of coffee beans, you can get to the market. This semi-wet, semi-dry condition removes the outer shell of the coffee beans, which reveal a distinctive dark blue color. This treatment reduces the acidity and increases the body of the coffee, resulting in this characteristic Indonesian coffee.
