Cuba: Crystal Mountain Coffee

Flavor and taste characteristics: full of particles, average taste, with tobacco flavor

The Republic of Cuba, located in the West Indies, has a detached and primitive natural situation, the sunny Caribbean Sea and the world-famous Crystal Mountain Coffee.

In 1748, coffee was introduced into Cuba from Domiga, and Cuba began to grow coffee. Cuba has fertile land, wet weather and abundant Rain Water, which can be called a natural treasure place for coffee cultivation. The suitable natural premise provides a favorable natural situation for the development of coffee trees, and coffee is well planted and grown here. In Cuba, the cultivation of coffee is managed by the state. The best coffee-growing areas in Cuba are located in the central mountains. Because this area not only grows coffee, but also produces precious minerals such as Taoist English and crystal, it is also known as Crystal Mountain. Nowadays, Crystal Mountain Coffee is synonymous with top Cuban coffee. A prominent feature of Crystal Mountain Coffee is the size of the particles, and the color of the beans is bright green.

In Cuba, most of the coffee beans are picked by hand. Coffee beans are picked about every half a month when they are ripe. During or after picking, coffee beans are classified and those immature and bad beans are removed to ensure the quality of the coffee. Cubans usually use two ways to deal with coffee beans-tanning and washing. Sun drying is the simplest, cheapest and most traditional way to prepare coffee, which is to make the coffee dry in the sun, but not fermented. Usually the dry time is at the mercy of all sides. The washing law makes the fragrance of the water more into the coffee beans, which adds a kind of coarse mineral water to the coffee.

Nowadays, the length of Crystal Mountain coffee is very precious. If the Lord is for two reasons. The first reason is the economic sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba and the non-opening up of Cuban imports. The second reason is that Cuban coffee beans are mostly acquired by the French and Japanese markets, especially Japan, so it is difficult to purchase coffee beans directly from Cuba. Nevertheless, the status of Cuban coffee in the hearts of happy coffee lovers around the world can still be compared with Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
