The word Indonesia comes from the Greek Indus and nesos, which refers to the islands of India.

The Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), referred to as Indonesia or Indonesia, is one of the Southeast Asian countries; composed of tens of thousands of islands, it is the largest archipelago country in the world, with a territory across Asia and Oceania, also known as the country of thousands of islands, the country of thousands of islands, the island country in the water, the equatorial emerald, the country of volcanoes and other nicknames.

Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world, facing the Malay Peninsula across the Strait of Malacca to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the west, the South China Sea and Java to the east and Java to the southeast.

Sumatra is a green island with all kinds of tropical plants covering the whole territory and full of vitality. The overlapping mountains are flooded by primeval forests, and the river as flat as a mirror is surrounded by tall coconut trees, whether cities, villages, fields and roads are soaked in the sea of color. The green sea and the blue sky constitute a harmonious and beautiful picture, which has become an immutable and beautiful landscape of Sumatra, leaving a deep impression on us.

In the 17th century, the Dutch first introduced Arabica saplings to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and Indonesia. In 1877, a large-scale disaster hit the Indonesian islands, coffee rust destroyed almost all the coffee trees, people had to give up Arabica, which had been in operation for many years, and introduced the disease-resistant Robusta coffee tree from Africa.

Sumatra Manning is a rare Arabica species. Planted on hillsides between 750m and 1500 m above sea level, the mysterious and unique Sumatran species give Mantenin coffee a rich aroma, rich taste, strong flavor, slightly chocolate and syrup flavor.

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.

Today, there are four special mantenins in front of me, namely, the gold of the Champs and the aged Manning under Raminita, the blue Batak and the hand of Hope. Let me introduce their features and stories one by one.

Aceh Gold TP, from Raminita, is famous in the world as one of its top Mantenin products because it adheres to the strictest quality management of La Minita and the company sends people to Sumatra to provide technical guidance, from planting to processing. And requires the full harvest of ripe fruit.

This coffee bean is handled by the Volkopi processing plant located in the Aceh area (Blue Batak is also the product handled by the treatment plant), so the treatment is the best, mainly washed in the front and sun in the back, plus TP:Triple pick means that it has been hand-selected for three times. So the bean appearance is very clean, and it is really a very valuable product.

Before the default baking degree is the second explosion, it has a little elegant herbal aroma of traditional boutique Mantenin, unique, clean and charming aroma of sweet peaches and preserved apricots, without astringency.

Coffee famous book "Coffee Science" also devoted a lot of space to describe the gold of the Elysees, you can have a chance to read it.

There is no need to mention the quality of the old Aged Mandheling, which is also from the Raminita Group.

The aged Mantenin is a kind of distinctive characteristic produced by the special and complex treatment of the fresh Mantenin of that year and the special preservation way of more than 5 years. Like Gold Manning, its annual output is limited, and the yield of aged beans is smaller because of the difficulty and complexity of processing and preservation.

This Chen Man has the cool feeling of mint, a hint of vanilla, the sweetness of herbal tea, complex spices and a strong and mellow flavor. Dry aromas have flavours of grain, malt and wood; wet aromas are dark aromas of roasted caramel and pine, with a hint of earth after rain. The palate is intense and exciting on the palate, with lilac, woody aromas and strong and persistent mint.

Like a cool sea breeze sweeping between the lips and teeth.
