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. Then why is the impression of Manning so bitter? In fact, it is affected by the degree of baking, most coffee beans get deep baking, usually a little bit of acidity will disappear.

The Origin of Manning Coffee

The name "mandheling" is very different from other coffee beans. It is not the name of the producing area, place, port, 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 the cup of coffee, but because of the language gap, the shopkeeper thought he was asking, "where are you from?" So I answered: "mandheling".

After the end of World War II, the Japanese soldier recalled that the "manning" he had drunk in Indonesia had asked an Indonesian broker to ship 15 metric tons of mantenin to Japan. As a result, it was very popular in the Japanese coffee market, so the name Mantenin has spread to this day. (the broker created Pwani Coffee Company, or PWN, a famous coffee company in Indonesia today, and is also the trademark owner of Gold Manning.)

Most people's impression of the flavor of Mantenin coffee is herbal medicine, and some people say that it is earthy (earthy flavor), which is the unique flavor of Asian coffee beans, but because this herbal medicine has a very strong flavor, Mantenin coffee is loved and hated by people, and people who like it flock to it, but those who hate local flavor avoid it, and it can be said that it is a coffee bean with strong personality.

In addition to the fragrance of herbs, Manning also has the smell of sunwood, which is often heard of wood, which is probably a kind of wood smell.

But how did these flavors come from? Is the manning coffee black?

Sumatra is a place rich in spices, such as cloves, pepper, cardamom and other spices, which can be found everywhere in Sumatra, and Mantenin coffee beans will inevitably be stained with some aroma with these spices. and Mantenin is a unique three-stage drying method to deal with coffee beans, which creates half-sun Mantenin, with such a unique flavor!

Each country because of its geographical area, climate, soil and other factors are different, so the coffee bean flavor is also different, tasting individual coffee can play with the coffee flavor of different regions. For example, Yegashev in Ethiopia tastes of charming flowers and fruits, while Sumatra's Mantenin is full of bitterness and mellow. When tasting individual coffee, it usually does not add milk or sugar, but only tastes the most primitive and natural flavor of coffee beans, which is enjoyed by coffee lovers.
