Front Street-Sumatran Coffee introduction

On February 14, 1942, 320 Japanese planes were parachuted near Palin, an oil field in Sumatra. In less than a month, the governor of the Netherlands surrendered. On March 15, Consumer Rights Protection Day, Japanese troops occupied Indonesia. After the Japanese occupation of Sumatra until 1945, the emperor announced his surrender, there was basically no large-scale attack, and life was very leisurely.

One day, a Japanese soldier was drinking coffee in a Sumatra cafe and felt good, so he asked the boss, "what is this?" The boss thought he was asking him: where are you from? Say: Mandailing. In fact, this is a common human phenomenon, people always think that others pay attention to themselves first, so they are used to self-expression. Probably because of this, he naturally thinks he deserves more attention than coffee.

Indonesia has 17508 islands, large and small, and more than 300 ethnic groups. Each ethnic group has its own relatively independent characteristics, so each ethnic group has its own identity. Sumatra was colonized by Britain and the Netherlands, so the boss did not react violently to the arrival of the Japanese. In other words, this coffee still left a deep impression on Japanese soldiers.

After the war, the Japanese soldier returned to Japan alive. Recalling the coffee he drank in Sumatra, he vaguely remembered his name as "Mandheling" and called a Medan named Pwani and asked him to buy a batch of "Manning coffee" on his behalf. The question is, what on earth is this false "manning coffee"?

Mr. Pwani probably started a quick analysis in his head--

The earliest coffee beans in Indonesia were in 1696, when the Governor of the Netherlands in Malabar in India gave a batch of coffee seedlings to the Governor of the Netherlands in Batavia Batavia (present-day Jakarta). This was the first time that coffee was grown in Indonesia.

However, the first coffee seedlings were washed away by the flood.

In 1699, Batavia accepted the gift again. This time, the coffee seedlings survived successfully and ushered in the first harvest in 1701, starting a coffee trip to Indonesia. At that time, coffee was already very popular in the upper class in Europe. Indonesian coffee began to supply the European market in 1711, when Indonesia was the first country outside Africa and Arabia to grow coffee on a large scale.

The Dutch are "sea coachmen" and hope to ship coffee beans to Europe soon. So in 1718, the Dutch transplanted coffee from Java to the Mandaining Highlands on the west side of Sumatra, saving several days on the voyage back to the Netherlands because of its proximity to the Indian Ocean. Coffee farmers used to call the coffee here Java Mandaining Coffee.

Perhaps this is the explanation for the spirit and courage of Sumatran coffee.
