Introduction of Qianjie-Mantenin Coffee Bean

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.

Mantening coffee, produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, also known as "Sumatran coffee". Her flavor is very rich, fragrant, bitter, mellow, with a little sour taste, is one of the largest demand for coffee in the world.

The history of coffee in Indonesia dates back to 1699, when the Dutch first planted Arabica saplings on the island of Java. In 1908, rust broke out and coffee trees on the island of Java were destroyed and had to be changed to robusta coffee trees with strong disease resistance. Indonesia is now a large coffee producer, and Robusta accounts for 90% of the total coffee production. but first-class Arabica has been planted in some areas, and Mantenin in Sumatra is the representative of Arabica.

These coffee trees are planted on the hillsides of the plateau between 750m and 1500 meters above sea level. mysterious and unique Sumatra gives Mantenin coffee, rich aroma, rich taste and strong flavor. 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.

One of the reasons why the taste of Indonesian coffee can be so varied lies in the wet planing (gilingbasah) used after harvest. This is a coffee treatment process formed by combining the elements of water washing and sun treatment. This semi-washing process has a vital impact on the quality of coffee. Because once through this process, the acidity of coffee is greatly reduced, but it seems to increase the thickness of alcohol at the same time, creating a supple, round, mellow coffee.

This way also brings a variety of flavors to the coffee, sometimes full of aromas of plants or herbs, or with woody, moldy or soil flavors. But this does not mean that all coffee processed in this way has the same quality and taste. The quality of this kind of coffee varies widely; the taste of semi-washed coffee is famous in the coffee industry. If coffee from Africa or Central America has such a flavor, no matter how rigorous the process is, it will be regarded as defective and immediately rejected by potential buyers. However, many people think that such rich and mellow Indonesian semi-washed coffee is quite delicious, so the industry's desire to buy is still booming.

Knowledge: in 1696, the governor of Jakarta (then known as Batavia) received coffee saplings from the Dutch governor of Malaba, India, as a gift, but these new saplings were lost in a flood in Jakarta.
