Many islands in Indonesia are formed by volcanoes. Therefore, they are mountainous and fertile, making them an ideal place to grow coffee. No wonder some of the world's most famous coffees are grown in Indonesia's Malay Islands: Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java. In Indonesia, about 15% of coffee is Arabica coffee. The other 85% is Robusta. Sumatra is the second largest island in the Republic of Indonesia. Manning Coffee grows on the towering volcanic slopes of Mount Lojze near Port Padang in west-central Sumatra, between 2500 and 5000 feet above sea level.

The natural drying method used in its production leads to a very complete body with concentrated flavors, adorned with the nuances and pungent ends of herbs. Coffee has low acidity and rich aftertaste, which lingers on the tip of the tongue. It has a chocolate flavor in the aftertaste. Coffee trees were first brought to Indonesia by the Dutch in the early 19th century, when the Dutch tried to break the Arab monopoly on coffee cultivation. Within a few years, Indonesian coffee dominated the world coffee market. By the end of the century, however, disease had completely destroyed crops. Coffee trees were successfully replanted and quickly won a large share of the world market until the plantations were destroyed again during World War II. "Mandailing" is spelled correctly here, and technically it is an ethnic group in Indonesia, not a region like Batak. Traditionally, the name "Manning" can be explained by the mysterious encounter between the soldiers who occupied Japan and the owner of the Mantenin Cafe. When the host asked them how good the coffee was, he misunderstood and thought they were asking him what he was. His answer is, of course, "Mandailing". After the war, a former Japanese soldier contacted a businessman on the island of Sumatra and asked him if he could buy good manning coffee. The agent is the famous Powhani, who shipped 15 tons of coffee to Japan that year. TP stands for triple picking.
