Do Indonesian boutique coffee mantenin coffee and Kopi Luwak belong to Indonesian boutique coffee?

According to historical records, Mantenin is not an Indonesian origin or variety, but a homonym for Mandaining, a nation from Sumatra who is very good at growing coffee. During World War II, Japanese officers stationed in Indonesia felt that the flavor of the local coffee was amazing, so they asked the shop owner the name of the coffee. However, due to the language gap between them, the Mandaining nation became Mandenin coffee, which continues to this day.

Mandarin Coffee is mainly produced in Sumatra, Sumatra, so it is also known as Sumatran coffee beans. Besides coffee beans, spices such as chili and cardamom are also important crops in Sumatra. In planting, the two flavors blend with each other, so the coffee beans are stained with a little spice flavor, so Mantenin coffee has a rich flavor and herbal flavor.

On the other hand, Mantenin coffee beans were mainly processed in half the sun. at first, due to poor equipment of farmers, they needed to move coffee beans back and forth to avoid mildew when they came into contact with Rain Water. Coffee farmers took advantage of bad weather to bring coffee beans into the treatment plant to remove pectin layer, which also created the characteristics of low acidity and strong flavor of Mantenin.

After eating coffee beans, civets will ferment, shed their shells, remove their shells, and then expel them from the body after they are finished by the digestive system. Subsequently, cleaned and processed by coffee farmers, it will become the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world. Indonesian Kopi Luwak / civet coffee has a smooth taste and a balanced acidity. The research is more helpful to reduce the irritation of coffee to the stomach and intestines.
