Qianjie-introduction to coffee knowledge in Indonesia

Mantenin's leaping micro-acid is mixed with the richest aroma, can easily taste the lively factor in the mild fragrance, and its outstanding taste captivates many suitors.

Coffee is mainly produced in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi, with Robusta accounting for 90% of the total production. Sumatra manning is a rare Arabica species (now it can only be called a hybrid). These trees are planted on hillsides between 750m and 1500 meters above sea level, mysterious and unique Sumatra, giving Mantenin coffee, rich aroma, rich taste, strong taste, unique, with slight chocolate and syrup flavor.

Mantenin coffee beans have large granules and hard beans, and they are prone to defects in the process of planting. After harvest, they are usually subject to strict manual selection. If the control process is not strict enough, it is easy to cause a mixture of good and bad quality. in addition, the different degree of baking will also directly affect the taste, so it has become a more controversial single product. Mantenin has a strong taste, with a strong mellow and rich and lively sense of movement, neither astringent nor sour, mellow and bitter can be fully revealed. The appearance of Mantenin coffee beans is arguably the ugliest, but coffee fans say that the worse the Sumatran coffee beans are, the better, mellow and slippery they are.

Manning, as we all know, is from Indonesia, the second largest coffee producer in Asia. Although 90% of Indonesia's coffee comes from low-altitude areas such as Java and Bali, it belongs to the rough Robosta species. However, Arabica boutique coffee, which accounts for only 10% of its coffee production in the high-altitude areas of northern Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java, is famous in the world because of its mellow taste, such as Indonesian boutique coffee such as Manning, Golden Manning, Golden Manning, Lake dopa, Lake Tawa, Mount Gaiyou, Aceh, Sulawesi and so on.

Golden Manning is one of the most precious and finest boutique coffee. PWN's Mantenin chose coffee beans in the Lindong area in the early years, but because in the late 1990s, farmers in Lindong region switched to high-yielding hybrid varieties such as Katim or Rini, it was difficult to find high-quality ancient Tibica varieties, so PWN began to select the highest quality coffee beans in the high altitude areas of the Gaiyou Mountains in Aceh.

PWN not only sends people to the mountain to select high-quality cherries when coffee cherries are ripe, but also adds its own unique processing steps when using the traditional Indonesian wet planing method. And every processing step implements strict quality control, and after five manual selections before export, the defect rate is almost reduced to zero. The final raw beans are uniform in color, dark green in color, large in shape and clean in taste, showing a charming golden yellow after a long time.

Due to the strict selection and processing system, the production of gold manning per season is very limited. After nearly 60 years of inheritance for two generations, PWN still attracts worldwide attention for its annual production of high-quality gold Mantenin. Gold manning from PWN tastes clean, almost without the earthy, herbal and woody flavors that are typical of ordinary mantenin. The flavor is strong and full-bodied, with a mellow, creamy, charming taste and sweet brown sugar, fresh and soft acidity plus nutty aromas, a round and clean finish, with chocolate aromas, is the most famous coffee in Indonesia.

Knowledge expansion: Mandheling is not a place name in Indonesia, or product name, or manor name, or processing factory name, or variety name. It is the misspelling of the name Mandailing, which lives in Sumatra.
