In the 17th century, the Dutch first introduced Arabica coffee seedlings to Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka) and Indonesia (see previous blog posts: coffee, Indonesia, Dutch). In 1877, a large-scale disaster hit the Indonesian islands. Coffee rust destroyed almost all coffee trees. People had to abandon Arabica, which had been in operation for many years. Robusta coffee trees with strong disease resistance were introduced from Africa.

Indonesia today is a big coffee producer. Coffee is mainly produced in Java, Sumatra and Sulawi, with the Robusta species (Robusta) accounting for 90 per cent of the total production. 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.

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 is arguably the ugliest, but coffee fans say that the worse the Sumatran coffee beans are, the better, mellow and slippery they are. Manning coffee is considered to be the most mellow coffee in the world. When tasting Mantenin, you can feel obvious lubrication on the tip of the tongue and low acidity, but this acidity can also be obviously tasted. Leaping slight acid mixed with the richest aroma, so that you can easily feel 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.

The most famous coffee producers in Asia are: Sumatra (Sumatra), Java (Java), Kalimantan (formerly known as Borneo in Borneo), Sulawei in Sulawesi and New Guinea. Sumatra manning coffee from the Indonesian island of Sumatra is the most famous, with two famous names, Sumatra mantenin DP I (Sumatra Mandheling Dry Processed Grade 1) and Collection Sumatra mantenin (Aged Sumatra Mandheling). Sumatra Mantenin DP has a long first-class finish, with a hillside aroma, which is characteristic of the earthy flavor of the primeval forest. In addition to the mellow taste peculiar to Indonesian coffee, there is also a bitter sweet taste, sometimes mixed with a touch of mildew, which is popular with people who like to drink concentrated roasted coffee. Sumatran Mantenin coffee is called "classic" because it is stored in the cellar for three years before export. But the collection coffee is not old coffee, but slightly pale coffee through special treatment, this kind of coffee is more full-bodied, the acidity will decrease, but the mellowness will increase, the finish will be longer, and will bring a strong spicy flavor, sometimes sour, sometimes walnut, sometimes chocolate.

Lintong is the best of the exquisite traditional Arabica coffee produced in northern Sumatra. To be exact, Lintong refers to coffee grown in a small area in the southwest of Lake Lake Toba in the Lindong district. Coffee cultivation is scattered on a high and wavy clay plateau full of fern covers. Lindong coffee is grown without shade, does not use chemicals, and is almost entirely owned by small private owners. Mandheling Mantning is a general term that includes Lindong Lintong and the planting area in the north of Sidi Karan Sidikalang and Lake Toba under similar conditions.

Dealers often mark Manning coffee as dry. In fact, it is often through a variety of mixed modes to separate the pulp from coffee seeds, the more common is a kind of own backyard-style 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.

After removing the peel, Manning 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 Medan's port of Medan. The process occasionally produces excellent coffee and is extremely unstable. Only through the merciless selection in the Medan port exporter's warehouse can we ensure that Mantenin's deep texture and unique and low-key rich taste can emerge from the interference of other smells.
