Introduction to the description of the flavor and taste of high-quality coffee beans in Indonesia Mantenin coffee producing area

Mantenin coffee beans have large granules and hard beans, and they are prone to defects in the process of planting. After harvest, they are usually subject to strict manual selection. If the control process is not strict enough, it is easy to cause a mixture of good and bad quality. in addition, the different degree of baking will also directly affect the taste, so it has become a more controversial single product. Mantenin has a strong taste, with a strong mellow and rich and lively sense of movement, neither astringent nor sour, mellow and bitter can be fully revealed. The appearance of Mantenin coffee beans can be said to be the ugliest, but coffee fans say that the worse the Sumatran coffee beans are, the better, mellow and slippery the coffee is considered to be the most mellow coffee in the world. You can feel obvious lubrication on the tip of your tongue when tasting manning, and it also has a low acidity, but this acidity can also be clearly tasted, jumping slightly acid mixed with the richest aroma. So that you can easily experience the lively factor in the mild fragrance. In addition, this coffee has a faint earthy aroma, and some people describe it as the aroma of herbs, also known as "Sumatran coffee". The main producing areas are Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra, 90% of which are Robusta species. Among them, the "Mantelin" produced in Sumatra is the most famous. The best of the exquisite traditional Arabica coffee produced in northern Sumatra of Sumatra is sold as Lindong Lintong and Manning Mandheling. To be exact, Lindong Lintong refers to coffee growing in a small area in the southwest of Lake Toba in Lindong District. The small coffee growing area is scattered on a high and wavy clay plateau full of fern covers. Lintong Lindong Coffee is grown without shade, does not use chemicals, and is almost entirely owned by small private owners. Mandheling Manning is a broader term that includes Lintong Lindong Coffee and similar conditions in the Diari [capital Sidikalang], the northern growing area of Lake Toba. Sellers often mark Lintong Lindong and Mandheling Manning coffee as dry. In fact, the pulp and coffee seeds are often separated by a variety of mixing modes, and the more common is a backyard wet treatment. The smart farmer put the freshly picked coffee cherries into a simple peeling machine made of scrap metal, wood and bicycle parts. Then put the peeled sticky beans in a plastic woven bag to ferment overnight. The next morning the soft pulp and slime that had been fermented were manually washed away. The silver-coated coffee is pre-dried on a sheet in the front yard and sent to the middleman's warehouse to remove the silver skin and further dry. Finally, the coffee was trucked to Port Medan in Medan, the capital of Sumatra, for the third and final drying. It is also reported that in other Mandheling Mantenin producing areas, after peeling, the sticky material is allowed to dry and attach to the beans, just like the semi-washing treatment in Brazil. Then use a machine to remove the sun-dried sticky and silver skin. Finally, it goes through the same two-stage drying, first in the middleman's warehouse and then in the exporter's warehouse in Port Medan, Medan.
