Grinding scale of Mantenin Coffee beans in Indonesia introduction to the manor by variety treatment

Sellers often label Lintong Lindong and Mandheling Mandheling coffees as dry processed. In fact, the pulp is often separated from the coffee seeds by a variety of mixing modes, more commonly a backyard wet treatment. Clever farmers put freshly picked coffee cherries into a crude peeling machine assembled from scrap metal, wood and bicycle parts. The peeled, sticky beans are then fermented overnight in plastic woven bags. The next morning, wash off the soft, fermented pulp and stickiness by hand. The silver-coated coffee is pre-dried on a sheet in the front yard and sent to a middleman's warehouse where the silver is removed and further dried. Finally, the coffee is trucked to Medan Port (capital of Sumatra) for the third and final drying. It has also been reported that in other Mandheling regions, after removal of the pericarp, the mucilage is allowed to dry and adhere to the beans, as is done in Brazil with semi-washing. After that, the dried slime and silver skin are removed by machine. The final drying is the same two-stage drying process, first at the middleman's warehouse and then at the exporter's warehouse in Medan.

Process with Sumatra characteristics. I describe these processes in such detail because it is not clear to what extent soil and atmosphere and unusual treatment techniques and three-stage drying each affect the formation of the characteristics of Linton and Mantenin coffee. Only one thing is certain. These treatments occasionally produce excellent coffee but are also extremely unstable. Only relentless picking in the Medan Port exporter's warehouse ensures that the depth of texture and distinctive understated richness of Lintong and Mandheling emerge from the interference of other odors.

During the Japanese occupation of Indonesia in World War II, a Japanese soldier drank excellent coffee in a cafe, so he asked the owner, the name of the coffee, the owner mistakenly asked him where you are from, so he replied: Mandenin. After the war, Japanese soldiers recalled drinking "Mantenin" in Indonesia. So Indonesia asked the passenger to transport 15 tons of coffee to Japan, which was very popular. Thus the name of Mantenin spread, and the coffee merchant was now known as PWN. Known as mandheling, mandheling is found all over lake Toba in northern Sumatra. The finished product has unique fragrance of herbs and trees.

The Japanese adopted stricter quality control more than ten years ago. After four manual bean picking and eliminating defective beans, they produced dark green and uniform gold mantin. This created another wave of market demand, and even Europe and America were crazy about it.

Aged mandheling, sweet as honey. Successful aging of the beans, will be the mantenin not elegant sour wear off. The sour ingredients are ripened and converted to sugar, making the coffee more rounded and sweeter to drink. Failed old mantinin is like a coffee zombie, the taste is hard to eat
