Cuban Crystal Coffee Flavor Taste introduction to Fine Coffee beans in Manor area

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, and most of the territory has a savanna climate. [6]

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. Youth Island (also known as Pine Island), located in Batahuano Bay, is the only larger island along the coast. The total length of the coastline is 6073 kilometers. 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, of which Mount Turchino is 1974 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Cuba).

Hydrology

The longest river in Cuba, R í o Cauto, is 370km long. [1] Cuba has more than 200 rivers and thousands of streams, most of which run north-south, so the current is shallow and fast. The Cato River, which flows east-west to the north of the Maestra Mountains, is the largest river in Cuba, but it is only 370 kilometers long and is the only navigable river in Cuba. Cuba's coastline is tortuous, generally steep in the north and flat in the south, with many good ports. Almost all of them are bays in the shape of pockets and bellies, which are very beneficial to shipping. The important bays are Havana Bay, Nippe Bay, Guantanamo Bay, Santiago Bay, Sienfugos Bay, Onda Bay and Matansas Bay and so on. [7]

Climate

Most of Cuba has a tropical rain forest climate, 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. [3]

Natural resources editor

Mineral resources

There are nickel, cobalt, manganese, chromium, iron and copper with mining value. Among them, nickel reserves are about 6.6 million tons, accounting for 40.27% of the world's total reserves. Manganese reserves are about 7 million tons; chromium reserves are also abundant; iron ore reserves are about 3.5 billion tons, mainly distributed in the Nippe Mountains and Balakoa Mountains, which is one of the largest reserves in the world; almost all the mountains in Cuba contain copper deposits; Pine Island has tungsten deposits and produces marble.

Like other Cuban-made goods (we have previously reported on the scandal at the Havana Club of Cuba), Cuban coffee has been permanently banned from all economic dealings with the United States since the Kennedy sanctions Act of 1962. After the gradual easing of relations between the United States and Cuba at the end of 2014, the Cuban coffee industry faces a huge market opportunity.

Due to the lack of previous market demand, the Cuban coffee industry is not as prosperous as Costa Rica's coffee production, even though the latter's land area is only half the size of Cuba. Coffee was originally introduced to Costa Rica from Cuba, and now this cash crop has become Costa Rica's main export, generating huge income for the region every year.

It was reported in March this year that a 76-year-old Cuban woman wrote to Obama inviting him to come home for Cuban coffee. This kind of story is very similar to the story arranged for the friendship between the two countries, and does hint at the future position of Cuban coffee.

At present, the United States has not allowed Cuban goods to be sold in the United States, and Cuban coffee beans with only origin but no brand may take the lead in entering this market compared with Havana clubs that have not been allowed to sell in the United States.

In Cuba, 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. Cubans usually deal with coffee beans in two ways-tanning and washing. Tanning is the simplest, cheapest and most traditional way to treat coffee, which is to let the coffee fruit dry in the sun but not ferment. The general drying time is about four weeks. The washing rule makes the aroma of the fruit more into the coffee beans, thus adding a coarse fruit aroma to the coffee.

At present, Crystal Mountain Coffee is very precious. This is mainly for two reasons. The first reason is the economic sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba and the non-opening up of Cuban imports. The second reason is that at present, Cuban coffee beans are mostly acquired by the French and Japanese markets, especially Japan, so it is difficult to buy coffee beans directly from Cuba. In spite of this, the status of Cuban coffee in the hearts of coffee lovers around the world can still be compared with Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. Crystal Mountain coffee beans are typical island beans with a clean and delicate taste, slightly sour taste, not strong but very long-lasting. And with sweet fruit aromas. The coffee made by it was owned by Jane in 1748, and coffee was introduced to Cuba from Domiga, and Cuba has been growing coffee ever since. With fertile land, humid climate and abundant Rain Water, Cuba can be called a natural treasure land for coffee cultivation. The suitable natural conditions provide a favorable natural environment for the growth of coffee trees, and coffee is well planted and developed 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. One of the remarkable features of Crystal Mountain Coffee is that the particles are large and the color of coffee beans is bright green.
