Indonesian coffee is very diverse in quality, most of which are based on the island origin as its market name: such as Sumatra, Sulawesi, Jawa or Timur. The advantage of Indonesian coffee is that most coffee is characterized by strong, introverted flavor and lively moderate acidity. Chinese people think highly of Indonesian Mandheling coffee, and it is one of the coffee products with the highest acceptance of single coffee.

Indonesia Mandheling was once praised as the best unique wet peeling coffee bean in the world. Mantenin is a trademark merchandise. Nowadays, as long as the red cherry fruit of coffee harvested in Indonesia is processed by this unique wet peeling method, it will be sold as Mantenin coffee beans. Mandailing grew coffee from the Tapanuli region of northwestern Sumatra, because at the end of World War II, a Japanese soldier introduced the Japanese market and changed the wrong Mandailing into Mandheling coffee because of mispronunciation.

Sumatra (Sumatra):

Coffee in Sumatra is very complex and elusive. Although Sumatra is large, coffee is not grown all over the island. Coffee trees are grown in only the two northernmost provinces of the island's eight provinces, Aceh and Jiangsu: Aceh coffee is mainly produced in the GayoMountain mountains around Lake LakeTawar, and most of the farmers in this area are local GayoPeople aborigines. On the other hand, coffee in Jiangsu Province is mainly produced in the world's largest super crater lake-LakeToba Lake (Tuba Lake) and south Lindong (Lintong) producing area, and the local farmers are mostly composed of BatakPeople aborigines. 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.
