Mandolin coffee is considered to be the most mellow coffee in the world

When it comes to Indonesian coffee, we have to start with Mantenin in Sumatra.

MANDHELING Coffee is Indonesia's most representative coffee bean, and anyone who likes coffee knows MANDHELING. The Mantenin are actually a minority group living in the northern highlands of Sumatra Island. The origin of the name of Mantenin Coffee is related to the history of aggression by Little Japan. During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia in World War II, a Japanese soldier drank excellent coffee in a cafe. He asked the owner the name of the coffee. The owner mistook him for asking where you were from and replied: Mantenin. After the war, Japanese soldiers returned home and recalled the "Mantenin" they had drunk in Indonesia. So I asked someone to ship 15 tons from Indonesia to Japan, which was very popular. Mantenen's name spread like this.

The main production area of mantenin is Sumatra Island, while high-quality mantenin is concentrated in the plateau surrounding Lake Toba in North Sumatra Province and the Gayo Heights in Lake Dawa in Aceh Province. The names of coffee bean producing areas are often mentioned, such as LINTONG NIHUTA in the Toba Lake area, SIDIKALANG, DOLOK SANGGUL, TAKENGON in the Gayu area.

Medan, the capital of North Sumatra Province, is the main distribution center of Sumatra coffee, and another distribution center is BANDAR LAMPUNG, a port city in southeastern Sumatra. Although the journey to Toba Lake is only over 200 kilometers, it takes 5-6 hours to drive from Medan due to the lack of highways. Shidi Garland, Dole Upper Valley and Lindong are all in the neighboring areas. It takes 6-7 hours to drive to Gayu production area in Aceh Province, more than 300 kilometers away from Banda Aceh, capital of Aceh Province; it takes more than 10 hours to drive to Medan, which is more than 400 kilometers away.
