Qianjie-Sumatra Coffee History

History of Sumatran Coffee

Coffee was introduced to the Indonesian islands by the Dutch in the 16th century and was first exported by the Dutch East India Company in the early 17th century. The Dutch usually had large plantations, and under the colonial regime, workers and locals were persecuted economically and politically. In the 1860 novel Magus Hafral, or the Coffee auction of the Dutch Trading Company, the Dutch Trading Company outlined a variety of ways in which the Dutch government and landlords abused and oppressed the Indonesian people. Especially in Sumatra and Java, hunger and poverty are common among coffee workers and indigenous societies.

Since the Dutch planted the first coffee tree in Indonesia more than 300 years ago, Indonesia is now the fourth largest coffee producer in the world, while Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi are the three major coffee producing areas in Indonesia. 90% of the varieties are Robusta, while Sumatra coffee is a rare Arabica species (Arabica).

In the 1860s and 1970s, outbreaks of coffee leaf rust destroyed the Indonesian coffee market and caused the Dutch to abandon many estates. With the collapse of the plantation, workers occupied small plots of land and eventually replanted coffee with Robosta coffee and various disease-resistant Arabica hybrids. This redistribution of land has given the island's small farmers a dominant position, an advantage that has existed to this day. On the whole, Indonesia is currently the fourth largest coffee producer in the world.

Sumatran caffeine is famous for its unique aroma of herbs and trees. This is partly due to the mix of planting varieties and the local climate. On the other hand, it is due to a special processing method, called wet shell method, locally known as Giling Basah, which gives these coffees many unique qualities.

"Manning Coffee" is described as "the most mellow coffee in the world". It has a rich aroma, no annoying acerbity, a slightly sweet taste, a hint of grass, and an elegant and mature flavor. it is deeply loved by coffee people. in addition to individual drinking, it is also one of the indispensable protagonists in the preparation of comprehensive coffee.
