Cup Test Report:
It is generally believed that the name "mantinin" for coffee grown in Sumatra is derived from an internationally renowned coffee company, but in fact there are many coffee producing areas on Sumatra, each producing coffee with different flavors, and "mantinin" refers to a racial name for coffee cultivation.
Our main character today is from Shamos Island on Lake Toba. Samose Island is a volcanic island in Indonesia, located in the middle of Lake Toba in northern Sumatra. It is the largest island in the world and the fifth largest lake island. Lake Toba has a water level of about 900 meters, so coffee is grown from about 1200 meters above, which is a very good growing environment.
Indonesia has a unique way of processing coffee in the world, called "wet hulling". This special treatment method can only be found in Indonesia in the world. As the name implies, the coffee beans are shelled before drying, and the wet coffee beans are dried to 12% to 13% before export.
Because of the wet relationship at the beginning, it is easy to produce a lot of defective beans. Therefore, most of the "Mantenin" coffee is used as commercial beans. However, if it is handled well, which kind of delicious is incredible. It is a very special "exotic flavor" that other coffees will never drink.
It is worth mentioning that only the high-quality "wet hulled" coffee produced in Sumatra has this flavor, so it is not only a problem in the post-processing technology of coffee, but also the soil environment and climate.
Today's protagonist is also the high-quality "wet shell" coffee mentioned above. It's an excellent representative. This exotic flavor ~ really isn't covered. I really can't describe it with words. The whole batch is only 16 bags (30KG). The quantity is very rare. Interested gluttons must not miss it ~
