Mantenin's mellow coffee taste and unique herbal and cocoa flavor have puzzled many friends who have just come into contact with individual coffee. Compared with the coffee beans with lively acidity and rich flower and fruit aroma, Manning coffee is so bitter that it is not the coffee flavor tonality that the younger generation likes now.

But in fact, a good cup of Manning coffee is not just the bitterness without a soul. After years of cup test and comparison of Mantenin beans in different seasons and different producing areas of Qianjie Coffee, it is concluded that compared with many bright sour coffees, Manning coffee is full-bodied, but it is not soulless bitterness. But the leaping acid mixed with rich herbal, dark chocolate flavor, is a kind of coffee that is not greasy to drink.

Where does Manning Coffee come from?

Unlike many coffee beans named after producing areas / estates / processing plants, the Mantenin in Mandarin coffee beans is not a local name, but comes from a race on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Only the Arabica variety on the island of Sumatra can be called Manning coffee.

The best coffee in Sumatra comes from two places: Aceh near Lake Tawa in the north of Sumatra and the mountains that surround Lake dopa in the south. Due to many sharecropper producers and the use of their unique semi-washing treatment and lack of iron in the soil, coffee beans in this area have a special blue color at the stage of fresh beans.

Lake Lake Toba, located in the central part of North Sumatra province, was moved northward by Dutch colonists to Lake dopa in 1888. The area of Lintong and Lake dopa (Toba lake) in Lindong of South Sumatra can be called mantenin, which is produced in the mountains around Lake Toba.

Lake Tawa is located in the middle of the Aceh Special Administrative region. Located in the northern tip of Sumatra, North Sumatra produces mostly Gayo. Lake Tawa, which is dominated by ateng varieties, can be called Aceh Coffee or Lake Tawar lake Coffee. The area is less than 1/10 of Lake dopa. However, the quality and output of coffee have surpassed that of Lake dopa in recent years.

There are two kinds of Mantenin coffee beans on the bean list of Qianjie Coffee, one of which is Lin Dong Mantenin from the rations bean series, from the Lindong producing area, and the other is from the PWN Gold Manning, from Jiayu producing area.

What's the difference between Lin Dong Manning and PWN Gold Manning?

Gold Manning is a registered trademark of Indonesia's PWN Pwangni, only the company will make at least three manual selections after harvest and drying to ensure that the specifications of coffee beans are more than 18. Defective beans less than 3 (300g raw bean samples), belong to the highest grade G1, dark green, neat shape of flat beans can be called "golden manning" coffee beans.

As gold manning becomes more and more popular, there are many beans on the market that are not issued by PWN but bear the gold manning brand. Qianjie has noticed that many gold mantenin coffee beans are sold on the market. In order to sell the coffee beans at a higher price, some merchants will select more than 18-mesh raw beans from the same G1 grade mantenin coffee beans, and hand-select them three times, in order to make their appearance to a great extent close to PWN gold mantenin.

But in fact, these can only be called boutique Manning. The PWN gold mantenin coffee sold on Qianjie Coffee can be seen in Qianjie Coffee Store, which is certified by the certificate issued by PWN, the certification certificate issued by PWN and the raw bean sack of gold Mantenin coffee with PWN logo.

After testing and comparing the coffee flavor of the Qianjie coffee cup, the flavor of PWN gold Manning coffee will be cleaner, and the sweetness of Huigan will be stronger, but the mellowness will be a little weaker. If you like the taste more mellow, you can choose Lin Dong Manning, like the taste cleaner, you can choose PWN gold Manning.

Mantenin coffee bean variety

The Mantenin coffee bean variety in the east producing area of Qianjie Coffee Forest is timtim, that is, Tim timor, which is an Arabica variety with Robusta blood. And the PWN Golden Mantenin coffee bean uses the ateng variety, that is, the Katim catimor variety, which is a hybrid between Kaddura and Tim.

The two varieties are characterized by higher disease resistance and insect resistance. In such a warm and humid place as Indonesia, not only plants, but also diseases and insect pests also love such an environment, so coffee plants themselves have better resistance to diseases and insects than those planted at other altitude areas.

Manning coffee treatment

Indonesia is humid and rainy all the year round, coupled with the humid climate of the island, it must be dried for a short time, so local coffee farmers will wash and ferment the coffee fruit after picking it. After fermentation, the coffee fruit will be poured into the peeling machine to remove the pulp and shell of the beans.

At this time, the water content is about 3040%. During sun drying or manual drying, the water content of coffee fruit can be reduced to about 13%. This method can save at least 30% of the processing time, quickly cash the coffee beans and reduce the cost.

The coffee treated by wet planing is usually mellow and strong, with a very distinctive personality, and the coffee bean treatment is only used in Indonesia.

Flavor and taste characteristics of Mantenin coffee

Mantenin flavor is rich, sweet, pure bitter, mellow, with a little sweetness. After baking, the coffee beans have large particles, with a special aroma like caramel and a mellow taste. Most coffee lovers like to drink individual products, but it is also an indispensable variety of mixed coffee.

Delicious coffee depends on fresh roasting, so every coffee bean sold in Qianjie Coffee is sent out within five days after the roasting is finished.

How do you make a good cup of coffee?

As the Mantenin coffee beans themselves do not have many sour properties, so after a long period of heat preservation or preparation of iced coffee, there will not be an unpleasant sour taste. So Qianjie Coffee Hot Chong suggests Manning Coffee.
