How do you make Dominican coffee? What are the taste characteristics of washed beans in Ellis Villa, Dominica? What coffee producing areas are there in Dominica?

I was silent for a long time when I saw the "Godfather of Japanese Coffee" Taguchi's comments on Dominica coffee beans. Because of the glittering light of Jamaica's Blue Mountain Coffee, other coffee-producing countries that also belong to the Caribbean Sea are forgotten like scattered pearls. among them, Dominica coffee, which has the same variety, local conditions and higher altitude as Blue Mountain coffee, has devoted itself to organic farming in recent years, which is a good coffee ignored by gluttons.

The Commonwealth of Dominica (Dominican Republic) is known as the "paradise of the Caribbean trade wind" because it is located to the east of Island of Hispaniola, the second largest island in Central America and the Caribbean (west of the same island is the Republic of Haiti), and is facing the Atlantic trade wind (also known as the "trade wind"), although the whole of the country is on the warm and rainy "coffee belt" south of the Tropic of Cancer, benefiting from the adjustment of the trade wind. From December to February of the following year, the temperature in the mountain area can drop below zero degrees Celsius at least. Because of the change of temperature and humidity, the local climatic conditions are particularly conducive to the growth and ripening of coffee in high-altitude mountain areas, and the coffee flavor is naturally more rich and mellow.

Caribbean Coffee-Dominica

In the early years, coffee produced in Dominica was often sold in the name of the capital "Santo Domingo". When the values of "boutique coffee" and "seed to cup (From seed to cup)" became more and more popular, Dominica's producing areas and estates strengthened their own cultivation and refining techniques, and the government also set up a coffee committee (CODOCAFE) to manage and coach the coffee industry. We will continue to promote the country's economic development and environmental protection through agricultural improvement, organic certification, quality control and multi-management of coffee farmers' cooperatives. what is more, after greatly improving the living conditions of coffee farmers, we have invested in the protection of natural resources with strong policy support. to form a virtuous circle of the coffee industry.

Island Coffee: Tibica, Ellis Manor, Dominica

Island coffee is a relatively small branch of coffee production in the global coffee producing areas.

Today, I would like to introduce to you a Caribbean coffee that has been listed as a regular bean list: Dominica Ellis Manor Coffee beans.

There are six main Dominica alpine coffee producing areas on the market, namely: Cibao, Bani, Azua, Ocoa, Barahon, Juncalito and so on. Among them, the "Finca Alis Manor" in the Hongkalito producing area is planted in the cloud belt of the central valley, and the coffee produced is particularly unique to Dominican boutique beans, so it has been mainly exported to high-end single coffee roasting markets such as Germany and Japan over the years.
