Coffee with a unique processing process, the manor or handlers will be named after some elegant or apt names, such as the Carnett Manor musician series, the Rose Valley of the Tree Manor, and Shirley of the Moca Manor in Honduras.

Also need to classify the brand positioning of their own products, for example, the Emerald Manor divides its coffee into jadeite selection (rose summer red standard), private collection (rose summer green standard), rose summer 1500 (rose summer blue standard), diamond hill (boutique Kaduai) and Pamela (ordinary Kaduai). There are also a series of products from Rose Summer Village (named similar to the Emerald Manor), Panamanian Flower Butterfly, Gold Manning (described in more detail below) and the Guatemalan Flower God.

The name of Manning

This is special, it is neither the name of the producing area nor the variety of coffee, but the name of the local coffee-growing tribe (and misheard, the transliteration of the tribal name "Mandaining"). Today, Arabica coffee beans produced in North Sumatra can be called Manning coffee.

Tiger Mantenin (official name: Mantenin Sumatran tiger), using coffee beans from Lake Acitava, has the aroma of traditional Chinese medicine, and Mantenin can only be called a tiger if the defect rate of more than 17 eyes is less than 4%.

There is also the aged Mantenin in the name of the special treatment process, which puts the wet planed coffee beans into a constant temperature warehouse for 2-3 years of aging. Mantenin's fruit acid after a long time of ripening, not only become soft and moist, its mellow thickness and unique flavor can be stunning in the mouth.
