Introduction to the flavor and taste characteristics of the first-class Lindong coffee farm in Sumatra, Indonesia

The Lindong producing area is located next to the famous tourist area LAKE TOBA (Lake dopa) in Sumatra, where the elevations are 1400-1800, and the tree species are Jember, Garundang Typica and Ateng. Once upon a time, Lin Dong's coffee was famous, but now coffee farmers there have added new tree species to promote the harvest time and yield of coffee, resulting in a decline in coffee quality, so now some well-known Indonesian coffee exporters Have transferred to the GAYO district of Aceh to buy goods. Since some years ago, GAYO coffee was not allowed to be exported, now the government has lifted the ban, so we can taste coffee of first-class quality and taste. Oh, this can also be regarded as a little help from the Indonesian government to the coffee industry. Everyone in the Lindong producing area can rest assured to go there, and by the way, they can also visit the beauty of Lake dopa.

As for Sidikalang coffee, it is also famous locally, but it is mostly supplied to the domestic market and is not exported much. I won't repeat it here.

This coffee trip visited several famous coffee exporters in MEDAN, the capital of Sumatra. The first is, of course, my supplier PAWANI. I am now their first authorized distributor in China. Hehe, it has been 56 years since the establishment of PAWANI. The founder, Mr. Dudebar, and two companions founded PAWANI, which means a long time. PAWANI is the first Indonesian company to sell Indonesian Arabica coffee overseas, which can be regarded as a contribution of Chinese to the coffee industry. PAWANI's main customers are from the United States, Japan and Taiwan. I hope my efforts can also make more domestic Manning enthusiasts taste the products of this famous coffee company.

The current head of PWN-Mr. du Weizhi (son of the founder) and two other veteran bosses Chen, Boss du continues to carry forward Mr. du's founding purpose, quality first, so he has not expanded the size of the company for a long time. All products from origin to packaging are strictly checked layer by layer, so that consumers get the best products. All the products of PWN now come from the GAYO Mountains, which used to be from Lindong District, but Boss Chen said that the quality of Lindong has declined and is not as good as it used to be, so they have changed their production areas. As domestic friends prefer small packaging, I also specifically asked PWN to make all my beans into 30kg packages, and now they are all packed in gunny bags, the previous straw mat packaging is no longer used. Mantenin producing area is in the south of Sumatra. But in the early days, they would transfer the harvested raw coffee beans to Medan and then export them. So, like mocha, Sumatran coffee has been synonymous with manning coffee for quite a long time. However, with the gradual popularity of the third wave of boutique coffee, gayo in northern Sumatra, that is, Aceh province, central toba, and SP bolon producing areas have their own characteristics, so officials now refer to Mantenin in southern Sumatra. Of course, as has been said in the past, Manning, representing Sumatra, is not completely wrong. But together with Java, the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, it is indeed a common sense mistake that the beans in the GAYO mountains are now the highest quality in the whole of Sumatra, mostly grown with old trees, at high elevations, between 1500 and 2500. This producing area is located in ACEH, the place where the great tsunami occurred. I hope the export of coffee can help the people there after the tsunami. For coffee in GAYO producing areas, the Indonesian and international standard titles are Gayo Arabica,Gayo Mandheling,Lake Tawar and Takengon Mandheling. If you go to the local growers and ask for Mantenin, they don't understand, they have to talk about Arabica. In fact, Mantenin is just a general name in the world. Everyone should know about the misunderstanding about Mantenin. Because the old tree species have been planted here, so the quality has maintained a very high quality, PWN now only collects products here. However, I would like to remind you not to go to Aceh alone. There was independence here a few years ago. Although it is now calm and law and order is better than before, it still needs to be led by local people. Foreign tourists are often kidnapped there, and many Indonesian locals dare not go there alone.
