A brief introduction to the story of Sumatran coffee in Qianjie

Sumatra, the second largest island in Indonesia, is separated by the Strait of Malacca to the north and is far away from the Malay Peninsula.

It extends from northwest to southeast and the equator passes through the middle of it. The terrain is high in the northwest, and the Bali Mountains (Barisan Mountains) run through it, mainly Arabica species, which is the main producing area of Manning. The southeast is low, mostly flat or swampy, dominated by Robusta varieties. The island has more than 90 volcanoes and a large number of volcanic lakes, providing fertile soil for coffee growth.

Lake Lake Toba, located in the central part of North Sumatra province, was moved northward to Lake dopa by Dutch colonists in 1888, thus creating a modern Mantenin legend.

Lake Tawa (Lake Tawar) is located in the middle of Aceh Special Administrative region. Located at the northern tip of Sumatra, the area is less than 1/10 of Lake dopa.

There are many ethnic minorities in Aceh and northern Sumatra. In Aceh, you can see the Caius, who mainly live in the Caiyue area and the central Aceh region. You can find Pakpak people in Dairi and Pakpak Bar.

When looking for Sumatran coffee, you can often find Jiayu coffee or Manning coffee. Both Gayo and Mandheling (from the Mandailing people) are used as trade names. It is a proud act that all coffee growers are eager to leave their own mark.

Coffee from Sumatra is famous for its smoothness, sweetness, fullness and low acidity. The flavors of cocoa, clay and cedar wood are all well shown in the cup. Sometimes, Sumatran coffee shows higher acidity, which balances its alcohol thickness. This acidity has tropical fruit flavors and sometimes grapefruit or limes.

Mantenin does not refer to the name of the producing area, but to the transliteration of the Indonesian mandheling people.

During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, the Japanese soldier asked the coffee shop owner the name of the coffee he ordered. The boss thought the Japanese soldier asked him where he was from, so he replied: mandheling. After the war, the Japanese soldiers were very unforgettable about the cup of Mantenin they drank in Indonesia. As a result, some coffee merchants introduced it to Japan. After his popularity in Japan, Manning became famous.
