Variety Kind

Kaddura species are increasing day by day

Hit hard by the hurricane in 1998, countless losses were lost everywhere, so the local area generally began to plant Kaddura species with lower tree height and higher harvest. Although Baraona still has Tibica coffee, its harvest has been greatly reduced because of the annual hurricane damage.

Planting Cultivation

The climatic conditions are no different from those of the highlands.

The Tibica coffee produced in Baraona, the main producing area, has the soft taste and light aroma peculiar to the Caribbean, while the highland coffee in Siwao in the central mountain area has a strong taste-the two producing areas have their own characteristics.

Dominica's Santo Domingo coffee

Santo Domingo is a city with a history of 500 years. Coffee produced by Santo Domingo and Barney, which is almost synonymous with Domiga coffee, is a world-famous high-quality coffee. Its flavor and taste characteristics: fresh and elegant, full particles, excellent acidity, pleasant aroma.

The Dominican Republic is located in the east of the island of Haiti in the West Indies, bordering the Republic of Haiti to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. With an area of about 49000 square kilometers and a population of 7.1 million, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti coexist on an island bordering Haiti. Like its neighbours, the Dominican Republic had a history of revolution and poverty, but now it has democratic elections and the country is relatively stable.

In the early 18th century, coffee was introduced to Domiga from Martinique, and fine coffee was produced in the north represented by Hibao and in the south, including Okayabani Santo Domingo. Among them, the coffee produced by Santo Domingo and Barney, which is almost synonymous with domiga coffee, is a world-famous high-quality coffee. Santo Domingo coffee is characterized by freshness, elegance, fullness, excellent acidity and pleasant aroma, so it is worth it. The selection of Dominican coffee is usually done manually. The main basis for selection is according to the fullness of coffee particles, whether it is uniform, and then grade it. Generally speaking, coffee with full and uniform grains is easier to preserve. Only the fullest and most evenly grained coffee beans can be roasted to represent the best and finest coffee in the country.

Unlike coffee produced in Haiti, most of the coffee grown in the Dominican Republic has been washed, which is a symbol of high quality. Miniga Coffee uses a washing method to treat coffee beans, so that the quality of treated coffee beans is more guaranteed. The coffee beans treated by washing method retain more original flavor than the drying method, and the aroma is pure and soft.

Carefully selected in this way, the high-quality Dominican coffee exudes a faint aroma and gives people a faint fruity aroma with a lingering finish and a smooth and smooth finish.
