Mantelin, it can definitely be called a highly polarized coffee. People who like it can't stop, and people who don't like it don't like it very much. So when a coffee shop sells Mantelin coffee beans, a friend will occasionally ask the store the question: "People still like to drink Mantelin when it is so bitter. What are its characteristics? "That's right, the store questioned is Qianjie. The reason why there is such a big gap is mainly because of the unique wild aroma and taste of Mantelin coffee, which is an experience you can't drink on many coffees. The aroma has a wild aroma of spices, pine, nuts, and chocolate. The taste is as thick as syrup. The taste is rich and almost acid-free. This is the unique expression of Manternin's difference from other coffees, which is what people call "Manternin's flavor." People who like it enjoy it very much, and people who don't like it dislike it very much. The reason why Manternin has such a taste is of course inseparable from the four factors often mentioned in Qianjie: variety, planting area, processing, and baking.

As we all know, Mantonin coffee refers to the "Arabica" coffee beans produced on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. Because of a sudden accident, Arabica coffee in the entire Sumatra was sold under the name "Mantonin". The most important producing areas on the island are near Lake Toba and Lake Tawa. Lake Toba is more famous for its Lindong production area, while Lake Tawa is more famous for its Gayo Mountain production area, with excellent flavor. Because of this, Qianjie chose to include Mantenin from these two production areas in the bean list

The variety of Mantelin can be said to be one of the reasons why Mantelin coffee has pine, spice and other flavors. The coffee varieties originally planted by the Dutch on the island were pure Arabica varieties such as ironpica and bourbon. However, these varieties all fell down one after another after the outbreak of leaf rust in 1876, which forced the Indonesian authorities to introduce new varieties around the world to ensure the continuity of the coffee industry. In this way, the land of Indonesia has become a melting pot of coffee varieties, so you can see all kinds of coffee varieties here. Although there are many varieties, the main varieties of Mantonin coffee are Ateng and Timtim. The former is Indonesian Katim, and the latter is Indonesian Tim. Because they all carry Robsta's genes, they all have a hint of Robsta's unique earthy flavor.

The processing of Mantelin coffee is also very unique, which is a relatively "rough" processing method. Due to the heavy humidity and erratic weather in Sumatra Island all year round, if sun treatment is used to dry coffee beans, the drying time will take a very long time, and the coffee beans can easily undergo qualitative changes. Therefore, local people invented a locally suitable coffee processing method-wet planing.

The process of wet planing is roughly as follows: first use a peeler to remove the pulp and peel of the coffee beans, then clean and dry the coffee beans; when the moisture content of the coffee beans is dried to about 30% to 40%, a sheller will be used to scrape off the sheepskin layer on the surface of the beans, and finally dry for a few days to reduce the moisture content to 12 to 13%. If it is exposed to the sun, the drying time will be about twice as long as wet planing. During the processing process, the coffee beans will be deformed or deteriorated due to violent peeling or laying of the ground. Therefore, Mantelin coffee will usually be manually selected after the processing is completed, especially the gold Mantelin of PWN Company. The process will be more complicated, which is why Qianjie PWN gold Mantelin will have a higher cleanliness when drinking.

Because the wet planing treatment allows the coffee beans to ferment for a very short time, the fermentation degree of the coffee beans will not be very deep, so it retains more of Indonesia's terroir and the flavor tone of its own variety. Under the deep baking, this flavor can be better set off, so in addition to the classic deep-baked flavors such as chocolate and caramel, we can also drink its unique spices, pine and other wild and mellow taste from Manternin.

If you also want to taste the taste of high-quality Mantelins, then the two Mantelins in Qianjie Coffee Taobao Tmall flagship store will be very good choices. Qianjie Lindong Mantonin is a coffee bean in the Qianjie Ration Series. From this bean, we can taste the most classic and pure Indonesian Mantonin coffee flavor.
