Introduction to the characteristics of Indonesian Mantenin wet planing method the taste of Sumatra Manning coffee

Coffee lovers' attitude towards Sumatran manning coffee is polarized: one is admiring it, the other is avoiding it. The unique spices, herbal flavors and faint earthy flavor of Mantenin coffee are not acceptable to everyone, and the main factor contributing to this unique style is the same local Sumatran coffee treatment-wet planing.

Sumatra is a small island of Indonesia in Southeast Asia. It is the second largest island in Indonesia and the sixth largest in the world. The climate of Sumatra is very suitable for growing Arabica coffee and providing quality coffee for the world.

Coffee cultivation in Indonesia can be traced back to 1600, when coffee was brought to the colony by the colonists the Netherlands. Most of Sumatra's coffee is grown near Lake dopa, but it wasn't until 1884 that coffee production began to increase. Soon after, Indonesia became one of the largest coffee producers in the world. Since most of the early Indonesian coffee was exported from Jakarta, Java, the export packaging of coffee beans was printed with the word "JAVA". Coupled with the good quality and taste of Indonesian coffee, Java coffee was very popular.

Sumatra has a humid climate, abundant Rain Water and close to volcanoes, providing ideal conditions for growing coffee. Due to the climate here, the coffee harvest period in Sumatra is longer than in other producing countries, from May to September.

Due to the long rain time and short sunshine time in Sumatra, it can not meet the conditions required by the sun treatment method. In addition, the water washing treatment method requires a lot of capital investment, and the local economic conditions are limited. As a result, there is a semi-washing treatment method with local characteristics-wet planing method.

After picking the coffee fruit, the farmers remove the peel and pulp, and then leave the mucilage of shell beans to ferment overnight. The next day, add water to the shell beans to stir and clean the outer layer of mucus, then evenly spread the shell beans to dry to a semi-dry and semi-wet state.

The shell beans are collected and sold to the coffee and raw bean processing station in a semi-dry and semi-wet state. After receiving the raw beans, the treatment station immediately carried out the operation of removing sheep skin, and then carried out the step of drying and drying. When the water content of raw coffee beans is reduced to about 13%, it will be put away and stored for export.

The unique feature of this treatment is that the sheepskin is removed when the coffee beans are still in a semi-dry and semi-wet state, and the raw coffee beans burst out directly. Sheep's skin is regarded as the protective layer of raw coffee beans and will not be removed before export, so as to prevent foreign bodies from coming into contact with raw coffee beans to catch a bad smell.

In the Qianjie coffee rations bean series, there is a Mantenin coffee from Lindong, Sumatra. In the Qianjie rations bean series, there are many kinds of beans from the iconic producing areas, and most of the rations beans are washed, thus highlighting the most basic flavor of the producing area. And Mantenin coffee has its unique flavor because of wet planing, but also because of its unique flavor, Mantenin coffee can be famous, and Mantenin and wet planing complement each other. The Mantenin coffee in the Qianjie food bean series is also treated with wet planing.

In addition, there is a gold manning on the bean list of Qianjie coffee. Qianjie gold manning coffee comes from Indonesia's PWN company, while PWN company registered gold manning a long time ago, and another Japanese raw bean merchant registered gold manning as a trademark. This means that only the golden mantenin coffee beans from the Indonesian company PWN are the real golden mantenin coffee beans.

PWN is very strict in the management of the production of gold mantenin. The gold mantenin coffee in the front street has the highest grade G1, that is, the grain size of raw coffee beans is more than 18 mesh, and the number of defective beans per 300g sample beans is less than 3. In addition to machine selection, PWN has also conducted three manual selections of the golden Mantenin coffee beans to ensure that the defective beans are completely removed, thereby increasing cleanliness and sweetness.

Because the processing process is very meticulous, in fact, PWN's production is not high, so a large part of the gold Manning is not from PWN. If friends have questions about the golden mantenin coffee beans they bought online or offline, they are not sure if they are from PWN. You can ask the seller to provide PWN marked gold mantenin coffee raw bean sacks and certificates to find out whether it is what we often call PWN gold manning.

When the roasters of Qianjie Coffee received these two types of Mantenin coffee beans, in order to highlight the mellow feeling of Mantenin coffee, they adopted the degree of medium-to-deep roasting. When cooking, Qianjie recommends using a water temperature of 88 degrees Celsius, a KONO filter cup and a thicker grinding thickness.
