Cuban Coffee Culture Cuban Crystal Coffee introduction Fine Coffee beans

Coffee was introduced into Cuba from Dominica in 1748. In Cuba, where the land is fertile and the climate is humid, Rain Water's abundant area has become the most suitable place to grow coffee. After that, coffee began to be grown and developed in Cuba. In the Central Mountains of Cuba, it is the best place to grow Cuban coffee, in which Crystal Mountain coffee is synonymous with top Cuban coffee.

Cuban Coffee Culture in past Life and present Life

Walking on Havana Street in Cuba, you can taste the city through coffee. The coffee culture here is a precious cultural treasure of Cuba. In fact, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, there were more than 150 cafes in Cuba, and although it was later reduced because of two other Cuban business cards-rum and Cuban cigars, Cubans' love of coffee remains the same.

Drinking coffee is indispensable to the life of Cubans.

"Family Cafe" was born in Cuba

Because of policy and low income, Cubans began to make their own coffee at home. Almost every household has a mocha pot for coffee, which is the most commonly used coffee pot for Cubans. Unable to enjoy the full-bodied espresso in the coffee shop, Cubans try to imitate the taste of espresso with a mocha pot at home. After making the coffee, Cubans will add a spoonful of brown sugar foam to the coffee instead of the coffee fat on the espresso.

(the Cuban old man proudly took out the mocha pot he had used for 20 years.)

The popularity of home-made coffee has nurtured a large number of family-style cafes. For workers who can't enjoy coffee at home, drinking coffee outside the window of a family cafe is the best choice. And this kind of family cafe is cheaper, and coffee usually costs 1 peso, or 3 cents.

(when you are tired from work, you can also go to the Family Cafe to buy a cup of coffee.)

Experience standing up drinking coffee in a traditional Cuban cafe

In addition to family cafes, there are also many traditional Cuban coffee shops in the old city of Havana. Here is an interesting rule: traditional coffee shops in Cuba cannot take out. After ordering coffee, guests have to stand outside the counter and finish drinking. Guests can chat with the shop assistant while drinking, which is the most intimate way of cultural exchange.
