[about Lake Tawa]

Lake Tawa is located in the Gayo mountains north of Aceh province in Sumatra. The humid tropical rain forest climate is rich in rainfall and fertile volcanic soil. The cultivation of coffee had a unique advantage, but it was not planted until 1924 because of its remote location and inconvenient transportation.

Traditionally, we refer to coffee beans from Sumatra as Mantenin, but this is not accurate. In fact, what we call Mantenin generally refers to coffee produced in the Lindong Mountains around Lake Toba in north-central Sumatra, 9-1200 meters above sea level in the southwest, with Batak as the main production. If the beans in the two producing areas have tried children's shoes, you can clearly feel that the coffee beans in the two Great Lakes regions are different.

[why is it called "emerald"]

After picking the beans, the coffee farmers will first remove the peel and pulp in the producing area, simply wash the wet pods, ferment the wet pods for 10-12 hours, and then manually remove the pectin and floating matter in the water tank. After one or two days of exposure, although the moisture content of raw beans is still 30%-50%, that is, peeling off the seed shell before continuing drying, in order to shorten the drying schedule of raw beans. After about 2 days of drying, the moisture content of raw coffee beans can be reduced to 1213%, then packed in gunny bags and stored in a cool and dry warehouse. After receiving the order, the raw beans are green and full, glittering and translucent, just like an emerald, so the coffee in this producing area is also called emerald Mantenin.
