There are a variety of different flavors in the coffee we drink, such as citrus, herbal, berry and so on. These flavors are essential to tasting a cup of coffee. Anyone who knows anything about coffee knows that Arabica is the coffee with the best flavor and taste. So does Arabica coffee have the same flavor? For example, manning coffee, the flavor of manning coffee has no flower and fruit aroma or not obvious, so is manning coffee Arabica coffee?

The most famous coffee producers in Asia are the islands of Malaysia, of which the most famous is Mantenin on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Those Arabica coffee grown on hillsides 750-1500 meters above sea level, with their rich aroma, rich taste and strong taste, especially the unique taste of chocolate and syrup, are unforgettable for a long time after sipping.

Arabica coffee's excellent flavor and aroma make it the only coffee that can be drunk directly and alone among these native species, such as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Mantenin of Indonesia, Yega Snow Coffee and Brazilian Coffee. However, it has weak resistance to dryness, frost, diseases and insect pests, especially leaf rust, which is the biggest natural enemy of coffee, so all producing countries are committed to improving varieties.

The richest coffee in the world

Mantenin Coffee is produced around Lake Toba in northern Sumatra, Indonesia, so it is also known as "Sumatran Coffee".

In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced Arabica coffee seedlings to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and Indonesia. In 1877, when a large-scale disaster hit the Indonesian islands, coffee leaf rust destroyed almost all coffee trees, and people had to give up the cultivation of Arabica coffee trees that had been in operation for many years. Robusta coffee trees with strong disease resistance were introduced from Africa. But there are a small number of Arabica species in Mantenin, Sumatra, and this is the Mantenin coffee we can taste today. These trees are planted on a hillside 750 to 1,500 meters above sea level. Mysterious and unique Sumatra gives Mantenin coffee a rich aroma, rich taste and strong flavor.

Manning is suitable for medium and deep baking, and can highlight the flavor characteristics.

The appearance of Manning coffee beans can be said to be the ugliest of all coffee beans, but its taste is very pure and is considered to be the richest coffee in the world. Its flavor is very rich, fragrant, bitter, mellow, with a little sour taste. Tasting Mantenin, you can feel obvious lubrication on the tip of your tongue. At the same time, it has low acidity, leaping micro-acid mixed with strong aroma, slightly chocolate and syrup flavor, so that you can easily experience the lively factor in the mild fragrance.

In addition, this coffee has a faint earthy aroma, and some people describe it as the aroma of herbs. High-quality preserved beans (stored in a cellar for three years before export, also known as aged Mantenin), the sour ingredients are ripe and converted to sugar, making the coffee more round, sweeter to drink and a longer aftertaste.

Arabica output

In 201920, under the dual influence of the increase in global demand and the decline in coffee production in the American countries, mainly Brazil, the global Arabica coffee supply shortage was about 5.5 million bags (60 kg each).

Guilherme Morya, an analyst at Rabobank, said the shortage of Arabica coffee this year was mainly due to low production in the Americas, mainly in Brazil. Especially in Brazil, this year is a small year for Arabica coffee production. But don't forget that global Robusta coffee production has increased this year and exceeded market demand, leading to an estimated total global coffee supply deficit of 4.1 million bags in 2019.

At the same time, Guilherme Morya believes that in October this year, the main contract price of ICE Intercontinental Exchange coffee futures will rise to 100 cents / pound. Apart from the temporarily unpredictable fluctuations in the exchange rate (Brazilian real / US dollar), we expect other factors to be good for coffee prices, he said.

It seems that Arabica production is so small this year, should you cherish your cup of Arabica coffee? In fact, there are many derived varieties of Arabica coffee, and each variety has a different flavor and price. Of course, the price of good Arabica coffee is high, and the price of bad Arabica coffee is naturally low. As for which one is good or bad, it depends on how you choose.
