The characteristics and flavors of island coffee What Cuba is famous for

Island Coffee Cuba (Cuba), whose name comes from the Taino language "coabana", which means "fertile land", is an island country located in the northwest of the Caribbean Sea, facing Haiti in the east, 140km south of Jamaica and 217km north of the Florida Peninsula of the United States. Cuba, the largest island in the Greater Antilles, is known as the "key to the Gulf of Mexico". It is also known as the "green crocodile of the Caribbean" because its territory looks like a crocodile. In addition to Cuba, it also includes more than 1600 surrounding islands of different sizes. The islands are made up of five islands: Savannah, Camag ü ey, Colorados, Queen's Garden and Canareos. Most of the island of Cuba is flat, with mountains accounting for only 1x4 of the total area. There are three major mountains in the country: the Guaniganico Mountains, the Eskambria Mountains and the Maestra Mountains (the highest mountain range in Cuba). Cuba's coastline is about 6000 kilometers long, most of which are flat, with mountains in the east and middle and hills in the west. Most of the territory has a savanna climate, and only the southwestern coastal leeward slope has a savanna climate, with an annual average temperature of 25 ℃. Except for a few areas, the annual precipitation is more than 1000 mm. The geographical and climatic conditions of Brazil are listed in order to show that these conditions are in line with the growth of coffee trees. So when did Cuba start growing coffee? In 1748, coffee was introduced into Cuba from Domiga, and Cuba began to grow coffee ever since. Because Cuba's land is fertile, the climate is humid, and Rain Water is abundant. The suitable natural conditions provide a favorable natural environment for the growth of coffee trees, and coffee is well planted here. In Cuba, the cultivation of coffee is regulated by the state. The best coffee growing area in Cuba is located in the Central Mountains. Because this area not only grows coffee, but also produces quartz, crystal and other precious minerals, it is also known as Crystal Mountain. At present, Crystal Mountain Coffee is synonymous with top Cuban coffee. According to the data, before the middle of the 18th century, Cuban coffee was mainly exported to Spain, even without demand. Because of the great revolution and unrest in French Haiti in 1790, a large number of experienced coffee farmers in Haiti moved to Cuba, helping to make a great leap forward in the quality of Cuban coffee, and even overtook Cuba's sugar cane economy and trade at one time. It was an important coffee producer before the Cuban revolution in 1956. In 1959, due to the turmoil of the Cuban political revolution, the new rulers organized an army to expand coffee planting. who would have expected that this army was all rookies and had no experience in growing coffee, resulting in the exclusion of experienced coffee farmers and decades of rookie parodies? as a result, Pakistan's coffee industry has plummeted. In 1990, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Pakistan's economy was in trouble, and farmers went elsewhere to make a living. From then on, Pakistan's coffee cultivation fell into a big collapse. In addition to man-made disasters, the bad relations between the United States and Cuba are also the cause. The United States has imposed an embargo on Cuba since 1960. Cuban coffee is unable to connect with the world's largest coffee market, and it has lost some of its motivation to improve coffee quality in the future of coffee cultivation. And Cuba's famous Crystal Mountain Coffee can not escape the bad luck brought about by the bad history of coffee cultivation. Although most of the coffee beans are picked by hand. Coffee beans are picked about every half a month during the ripening period. During or after picking, coffee beans are classified and those immature and bad beans are removed to ensure the quality of the coffee. And the coffee beans are treated by washing. However, these still do not save the coffee quality of Cuba in the past; although Crystal Mountain is the highest grade in Cuba, its quality can no longer match the name Crystal Mountain. It is also a pity for those who are looking for a variety of coffee flavors and varieties.
