It is customary to call coffee from Sumatra Mantenin, which is neither scientific nor confusing. The coffee produced by the Batak people in Lake Toba or the Lindong Mountains in north-central Sumatra is mostly grown without shade, and is mainly treated by half-sun or sun treatment, with obvious herbal and soil flavor, low acidity and muggy aroma, which is the most important feature of Mantenin coffee, so it is called Mantenin coffee. In the northernmost area of Sumatra, Tawahu or Achelle is planted by another Gaga friend in the traditional shade method, which is mainly washed or semi-washed, with a bright sour flavor and a light fragrance tone. American boutique coffee industry mostly calls this area coffee Axie Coffee, Gayoushan Coffee or Tawahu Coffee.

In short, the general "mantenin" coffee has the unique fragrance of herbs and trees, and the particle size is relatively irregular; the "golden mantenin" coffee of Indonesia's Pwangni coffee company or the "Jinding mantenin" coffee of the Japanese company are mellow and bright. Caramel is more sweet, fruit acidity is more bright and elegant, and there is almost no herbal, earthy and woody taste of Mantenin. Mantenin coffee is suitable for medium-and low-grade roasting, which can reduce miscellaneous flavor, while gold manning has a wider roasting range.
