What are the characteristics of Indonesian coffee? Where is coffee grown in Sumatra?
Among the seven continents in the world, Asia is the largest continent in area. Asia has complex and diverse topography, undulating terrain, high middle, low surrounding, mainly mountains, plateaus and hills, and has many volcanoes, with an average elevation of 950 meters above sea level.
At the same time, Asia spans the cold, warm and hot zones, and the climate types are complex and diverse. The fertile soil that volcanic ash can give, coupled with the complex climate, makes agriculture developed, so there are many coffee producing countries in Asia, such as Vietnam, Indonesia, China and so on. Indonesia has also become the fourth largest coffee producing country in the world.
Indonesia has such a high yield because Indonesia is rich in natural resources and is known as a "tropical island". Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world, composed of 17508 islands with diverse topography, many rivers and volcanoes.
Indonesia is located in the tropics, belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, the annual climate is warm and humid, the average temperature is 25-27 ℃, mainly divided into dry season and rainy season. With fertile soil given by volcanoes, rich in water resources and a warm and humid climate, it is an ideal area for growing coffee.

At present, both Arabica and Robusta coffee varieties are grown in Indonesia, but in the beginning, Arabica varieties were mainly grown in Indonesia. In the 17th century, Indonesia was a colony of the Netherlands. Because Indonesia was suitable for growing coffee, the Dutch colonial government introduced coffee to Indonesia. It thrives here, and by the early 18th century, Indonesia had exported thousands of pounds of coffee a year.
But in the 1860s, coffee leaf rust broke out, destroying coffee production in many coffee-producing countries, and Indonesia was no exception. Later, Indonesia introduced Robusta, which is more resistant and easier to grow, to replace Arabica, so Arabica currently accounts for only 15% of the country's coffee production.

Coffee is grown in several islands in Indonesia, and coffee producing areas are also distinguished by islands, such as Sulawesi, Bail, Java and Sumatra.
The most famous is the island of Sumatra (Sumatra), known as caffeine Manning. The island, the largest island in Indonesia, consists mainly of the Barisan Mountains Mountains in the west and the lowland plains in the east. The island is divided into ten administrative districts. Because it is crossed by the equator, it belongs to the tropical rain forest climate, which is high temperature and rainy all the year round.
Arabica coffee is mainly grown in the Barisan Mountains Mountains, which stretches 1600 meters across the island, with about 90 volcanoes, the highest of which is Mount Kerinci, which is affected by volcanic ash, fertile land and lakes, and has the world's largest volcanic lake, Lake dopa, which makes the island's agricultural industries such as coffee developed.
Among the ten administrative regions of the island, boutique coffee is mainly divided into Gayo producing areas in Mount Aceh Gayu and Lintong producing areas in Lindong, mainly concentrated in the Special Administrative region of Aceh (Aceh), North Sumatra and West Sumatra, while Robusta varieties are mainly grown in the south.
Lake dopa, located north of Medan, the capital of Sumatra, is the largest volcanic lake in the world. The soil in this area is rich in minerals due to past volcanic eruptions. The elevation of Lindong area southwest of Lake dopa is 1400-1800m, and the climate, soil and altitude are very suitable for coffee cultivation. The introduction to Qianjie is Mantenin coffee beans from Lindong, Sumatra, with dark chocolate, herbal, caramel flavor and sweet taste.
The name of the Gayo producing area of Mount Jiayu comes from the Gayo Gayu people. It is located in the mountain area of Aceh Aceh province with an elevation of 1300-1600 meters. There are many volcanoes and many volcanic lakes, of which the most famous coffee growing area is located in the freshwater lake Lake Lawar. The PWM gold Mantenin on the front street comes from Pwani Coffee Company, a famous Indonesian raw bean manufacturer, while the coffee beans come from the Aceh Gayo Mountains in North Sumatra and have toast, pine, cocoa and light herbal flavors. The palate is clean and balanced, with a sweet caramel finish.
