Romanning coffee bean variety Lindong, Sumatra

Manning is not the name of the producing area, the place name, the port name, nor the name of the coffee breed. How did it get its name?

In fact, it is the transliteration of the mandheling people in Mandaining, Indonesia.

During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia during World War II, a Japanese soldier drank mellow coffee in a cafe, so he asked the shopkeeper the name of the coffee, and the boss mistook him for asking where you were from, so he replied: Mandaining. After the war, the Japanese soldiers recalled the "manning" they had drunk in Indonesia. As a result, 15 tons of Indonesian coffee was transported to Japan, which was very popular. That's how Manning's name came out, and the coffee merchant is now the famous PWN Coffee Company. Known as Mantenin mandheling, it is produced all over Lake Toba in northern Sumatra. The finished product has a unique fragrance of herbs and trees.

Gold Mantenin, the Japanese adopted more stringent quality control more than a decade ago. After picking beans manually for four times, they eliminated defective beans and produced gold mantenin with dark green color and equal appearance of beans, creating another wave of market demand. Even Europe and the United States are crazy about it.

The aged Agedmandheling is as sweet as honey. The successful old bean has worn away Manning's inelegant sour taste. The sour ingredients are ripe and converted to sugar, making the coffee more round and sweeter to drink. Manning is like a coffee zombie in the old age of failure, and the taste is hard to taste.

Sellers often mark Lintong Lindong and Mandheling Manning coffee as dry. In fact, the pulp and coffee seeds are often separated by a variety of mixing modes, and the more common is a backyard wet treatment. The smart farmer put the freshly picked coffee cherries into a simple peeling machine made of scrap metal, wood and bicycle parts. Then put the peeled sticky beans in a plastic woven bag to ferment overnight. The next morning the soft pulp and slime that had been fermented were manually washed away. The silver-coated coffee is pre-dried on a sheet in the front yard and sent to the middleman's warehouse to remove the silver skin and further dry. Finally, the coffee was trucked to Port Medan in Medan, the capital of Sumatra, for the third and final drying. It is also reported that in other Mandheling Mantenin producing areas, after peeling, the sticky material is allowed to dry and attach to the beans, just like the semi-washing treatment in Brazil. Then use a machine to remove the sun-dried sticky and silver skin. Finally, it goes through the same two-stage drying, first in the middleman's warehouse and then in the exporter's warehouse in Medan's port of Medan.

The processing process and Sumatran characteristics. I describe these treatments in such detail because it is not clear how the soil and atmosphere and the unusual treatment techniques and the three-stage drying each affect the formation of the characteristics of Lindong and Manning coffee. Only one thing is certain. These treatments occasionally produce excellent coffee and are extremely unstable. Only through the merciless selection in the Medan port exporter's warehouse can the deep texture and unique and low-key rich taste of Lintong Lindong and Mandheling Mantenin emerge from the interference of other smells.

Production and editing

Manning Coffee

As a high-quality coffee variety, Manning coffee is consumed by most coffee lovers as a single product. Of course, as other kinds of coffee, it is also an indispensable raw material. Single product production

Roasting: since coffee beans can only be kept fresh for 1 to 7 days after baking, they will begin to lose their taste, leaving only bitterness and no mellow taste. Therefore, self-baking can ensure the freshness of coffee beans.

The traditional roaster is drum-type, which has the characteristics of stewing, which will make the coffee beans more mature and full-bodied. The household drum roaster can bake half a pound of coffee beans at a time, and the baking time (including cooling and producing beans) takes about 210.25 minutes. If you want to roast deeply, you only need to increase the time. When in use, just put the raw beans, set the baking degree, press the start button, from baking to cooling, the roaster can automatically complete.

Grinding: in order to blend with water, coffee has made the greatest sacrifice-smashing into pieces. Before brewing coffee, the beans must be ground into fine grains to increase the contact area between water and coffee in order to extract the delicacy. In fact, the bean grinder is more important than the coffee machine. At present, most people choose the "sawtooth grinder" because it can grind uniform coffee powder quickly and steadily. The operation method of the sawtooth bean grinder is very simple, generally speaking, it will have two setting functions, one is to set the grinding degree, the other is to set the grinding time. The degree of grinding is mostly expressed in Arabic numerals, and the smaller the number is, the finer the grinding is. On the top of the bean grinder is a funnel shaped box containing unground beans, and below is a drawer to hold the ground coffee powder. When you choose to buy a bean grinder, you should pay attention to its power, usually between 70 watts and 150 watts, the higher the better, the higher the power, the faster the grinding speed, and the shorter time the coffee powder stays in the sawtooth, so it can grind the coffee powder at low temperature.

Brewing: to brew a good cup of coffee, you should not only have fresh coffee powder and slightly harder water, but also a set of easy-to-use brewing tools. There are three main types of coffee machines in common use.

Manning Coffee

Drip filter: wet the coffee powder with water and let the coffee liquid flow through the filter cloth or filter paper and flow into the container at the speed of natural fall. Basically, this method does not soak the coffee powder, just let the hot water pass slowly through the coffee powder. Both the drip cup and the electric coffee maker fall into this category and are the simplest brewing tools that can make clean and brightly colored coffee.

Bubble type: put the coffee powder into the pot, soak it in hot water for several minutes, and then filter out the coffee grounds by a filter cloth or screen to form a cup of coffee liquid.

Siphon pots, drip pots, Belgian coffee pots and Vietnamese coffee pots are all follicular brewing tools, and they all have a soaking process to form a more complex taste.

High-pressure type: use pressurized hot water to penetrate the compacted coffee powder to produce a thick cup of coffee in this form of tools such as a mocha pot and an espresso machine.

Quick brewing method: can use Italian espresso machine, faster coffee brewing method. The Italian espresso machine can extract several cups of coffee continuously. The oil and gum in the coffee beans can be emulsified and dissolved under high pressure during the brewing process, and the essence of the beans can be completely extracted by pressure, making the brewed coffee more concentrated and better in taste and flavor.
