01 | region introduction

The main producers of Indonesian Coffee Coffee are Montasia, Java and La Viagra, among which Mantal is the most famous. Mantec is also known as "door-to-door coffee". Gayo is mostly produced in northern Taiwan. Lake Tawa, which is dominated by ateng (Arabic), can be called tawa or Tawar lake coffee at the northern end, while Lintong in the south can only be considered Manteau when it comes to Lintong and Lake Toba. Lin Yi Yi is the Mante producing area, and the best Mante varieties have four varieties: Sidikalang, Bergendar, Siborong borong and Telok Sanggul.

Lake dopa, located in the middle of Northmont province, was moved northward to Lake dopa by Dutch colonists in 1888.

Lake Tawa is located in the middle of the Tibetan Special Administrative region. Located at the northern end of the gate, the noodle is less than 1/10 of that of Lake dopa. However, in recent years, coffee products and output have surpassed that of Lake dopa.

The Gayo Mountain is located in the farming area of the northern province of Limenta. Most of the coffee workers in the Gayo area are local farmers. "Gayo" comes from the tribes of the ruins of Indonesia. This area has ideal conditions for growth, a long history and culture, and a unique flavor. The area mainly uses organic methods to grow coffee and does not use chemical fertilizers, so it is regarded as the world producing region of brown coffee. Therefore, Gayo coffee is often called brown coffee and Gayo organic coffee.

What is a "golden mantra"?

When it comes to PWN, the writer often mixes the name of Mente Coffee, which is actually a company's coffee company, Pwani Coffee Company.

This company is a very famous coffee harvesting company in Indonesia, mainly collecting Mante coffee. It has almost taken away the best producing areas in Indonesia, so most of the beans from PWN are also high-quality products. Kingman is the product produced by this company. After receiving the raw beans, they went through multiple manual traps to pick out the defective beans. In the end, these raw beans, which seem to have been selected and chewed, can be classified as Kingmanteer.

PWN has bet on the merchant, that is to say, only the Kinman made by PWN can be regarded as a real Kinman. Many of the Mantas on the market are not produced by PWN, but they are too tall under the name Kingman. at best, they can only be regarded as boutique Mantas.

It is nothing more than a product named by pwn.

02 | processing method

The planing method, also known as Wet Hulling, is also known as Giling Basah in the local language. it is a traditional Indonesian coffee processing method. From the point of view of the name, the planing method is very similar to the washing treatment (washing treatment). However, the taste of the cups in these two treatments is very different. The coffee processed by the planing method is usually mellow and strong, and the individual nature is very clear.

Planing processing step

① removes the peel and pulp and retains the sheepskin and mucous membrane.

② pool fermentation

③ washing off mucous membrane

④ sheep skin is dried for 2-3 days to 20-24% water content.

⑤ scraped off the sheepskin

⑥ dries raw beans to 12-13% moisture content.

⑦ preparation for export

Why do you use the planing method?

a. Waiting for reasons

The reason for using the ploughing method in Indonesia starts from the weather in the right place. Indonesia has annual temperatures ranging from 70 to 90 per cent, and in some areas, annual rainfall can even reach as much as 2000mm. You know, raw beans are most afraid of Rain Water. How did Indonesia overcome such poor weather conditions and produce rich and mellow manteau coffee? That is to rely on ploughing.

Under weather conditions, coffee takes an average of 2-3 weeks to dry. With such a high tide in Indonesia, dry coffee has become a big problem. It takes longer for coffee to dry, during which time the coffee remains at a high temperature, making it easier for the bacteria to soak into the raw beans.

In the ordinary washing process, the drying process is carried out with sheepskin, so as to protect raw beans from being spoiled by the outside world to a certain extent. However, we can note that the planing method removes the sheepskin for the final step of drying, so that the light will shine directly on the surface of the raw beans, causing the coffee beans to dry quickly, 2-3 times faster than washing.

c. Defects and kuku kambing (Bean)

Because the water content of coffee is still as high as 20-24% when the sheepskin is removed by the ploughing method, but in the general processing method, the water content of coffee is reduced to 10-12%. In this "semi-dry" situation, sheepskin will adhere to the surface of raw beans, it is more difficult to remove sheepskin and "fully dry", and the process requires more friction.

On the other hand, "semi-dry" raw coffee beans are very fragile and not as hard as "fully dry" raw beans, so beans can easily be cracked and form small gaps. This is what we often call hoofs or sheep's hoof beans (called kuku kambing in the ruins).

The ultra-fast processing speed of the planing method also causes high defects in Mantec. Employees will be arranged to carry out defective handcuffs, usually DP (secondary handcuff) and TP (third handcuff). Mantec after three handcuffs will be worse than the second handcuff in terms of defect rate.

Except for those minor differences, we generally think that shaved beans have the taste of dirt, rice and chocolate, while the sour taste is called "low acid", mellow and very heavy.

Low acidity comes from short time, weak fermentation process and long drying time. As for the "earthy smell" of shaved beans, it is said to be awkward. Some people complain that the beans used in the production areas related to the ploughing method are related, some people say that this is the result of the organic interaction between raw beans and the outside world, and some even say that this is because there are too many defective beans! Of course, there are a lot of...
