The coffee produced in Dominica is famous internationally for its special taste and aroma. However, due to its remote location, Dominican coffee has not been introduced to Taiwan for sale on a large scale in the past, and many coffee lovers in Taiwan often only hear about it, but do not have the opportunity to taste exquisite coffee from many countries.

Blue Mountain Coffee, Hawaiian KONA Coffee and Dominica Coffee are all high-grade coffee. However, real Blue Mountain coffee is hard to find in Taiwan, and most of it is mixed with beans from other regions. Hawaiian KONA coffee has been imported into Taiwan with roasted ripe beans, which is one of the few top coffee that can be produced in large quantities. Dominica coffee belongs to boutique coffee, the so-called boutique coffee refers to a single producing area, a single variety of coffee beans, after roasting is not mixed with other coffee beans, it can still show strong aroma and multi-level special taste.
