Origin of Mandheling Coffee Name in Indonesia? Why is Mandheling Called Mandheling - Is it a Coffee Variety?
The Origin of Mandheling Coffee
Anyone familiar with Indonesian coffee knows about Mandheling coffee beans, renowned for their full-bodied, rich flavor. However, many people don't know the origin of the coffee name "Mandheling."
FrontStreet Coffee discovered through research that the term "Mandheling" comes from a story of double misunderstanding. When a Japanese soldier tasted local coffee in Indonesia and found it exceptionally delicious, he wanted to know the name of this coffee. The shopkeeper misunderstood and thought he was asking about their ethnicity, casually responding "Mandailing." The Japanese soldier misheard "Mandailing" as "Mandehling."
Later, when this Japanese soldier returned to Japan, he asked a friend in Indonesia to find "Mandehling coffee beans," and this entrusted friend would eventually become the owner of Pawani Company.
And the Golden Mandheling introduced by Pawani Company stands out as the finest among Mandheling coffees.
Why Choose Golden Mandheling?
With so many Mandheling varieties available, Golden Mandheling not only preserves the characteristic thick, aromatic flavor of Mandheling but also adds its own unique characteristics. If you want to experience the essence of Mandheling flavor, FrontStreet Coffee recommends choosing "Golden Mandheling." Why do we say this?
Because after cupping many varieties of Mandheling coffee, FrontStreet Coffee found that Golden Mandheling is the cleanest, best representing the positive characteristics of Mandheling coffee while eliminating the earthy taste often associated with Mandheling in common descriptions. This is all thanks to Pawani Company's high standards.
The Quality of Golden Mandheling
Currently, Golden Mandheling originates from Mount Gayo in Aceh, where most high-quality Mandheling beans come from. The most distinctive feature of Golden Mandheling is its large beans, few defects, and excellent appearance. To achieve this, Pawani employs one machine sorting followed by three manual hand-sortings, greatly ensuring the quality of Golden Mandheling. Of course, this also makes it more expensive than other Mandheling varieties.
It's precisely because of Golden Mandheling's high-quality control standards that it is cleaner, has fewer off-flavors, and is more mellow than other Mandheling coffees. Many friends say they easily brew bitter, mixed flavors when making Mandheling, which has given them a negative impression of this coffee. FrontStreet Coffee suggests these friends try Golden Mandheling.
Authenticity Verification
FrontStreet Coffee would like to add that not all large-bean, low-defect Mandheling can be called Golden Mandheling. The Golden Mandheling trademark is owned by PWN Company. When importing Golden Mandheling green coffee beans, they come with a PWN Company certificate for authenticity verification. Additionally, Golden Mandheling burlap bags come in 30kg specifications, with each batch having a corresponding number that matches the certificate.
