Front Street-introduction to Manning Coffee

Manning is not a kind of coffee beans, but more inclined to a general name, code name.

Historically, Manning coffee has a long history. In the 17th century, the Dutch introduced Arabica coffee saplings to Indonesia for the first time. In 1877, a large-scale disaster hit the Indonesian islands. Coffee rust destroyed almost all coffee trees. People had to abandon Arabica, which had been in operation for many years. Robusta coffee trees with strong disease resistance were introduced from Africa.

Indonesia has a total of 17508 islands, large and small, the main producing areas of coffee are Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra, of which a large number of varieties are Robota, and Mantenin is also known as "Sumatran coffee". Belongs to the Arabica species (there are also some Tim species), giving most Mantenin coffee bitter, mellow thickness, slightly chocolate flavor characteristics. Therefore, as long as the coffee grown in Sumatra, no matter what kind of beans, can be called "Manning coffee".

It can also explain why there is an occasional introduction to a bean that reads: "Mantenin Variety: Kaddura treatment: washing / Solar". However, Sumatra is one of the three major islands in Indonesia, and there are many different estates and different varieties distributed on Sumatra, so it is impossible to cite them separately.

Mantenin Coffee is produced in Lake dopa in Sumatra Province and Lake Tawa in Aceh, which is known as "Shuangman between the two lakes". What the Shuangman of the two lakes have in common is that they are both thick and mellow. the difference is that the mantenin of Lake dopa is more stuffy, low and even has the smell of immortal grass, while Mantenin of Lake Tawa is more acidic, sometimes with a smell of cedar or wood.

Knowledge: Mantenin is not the name of producing area, place name, port or coffee breed. It is the transliteration of Mandainin mandheling people in Indonesia.
