Flavor and taste characteristics of coffee manor in Dominica Coffee Bean introduction to Santo Domingo Coffee

After Santo Domingo returned to Spanish rule, the local people gradually formed a consensus on independent statehood. On 30 November 1821, the former Governor of Santo Domingo, under the leadership of General Jos é N ú ñ ez de C á ceres, proclaimed statehood, named Haiti, Spain, and expected to merge under the Greater Colombian State led by President Bolivar of South America. [3]

But nine weeks later, in February 1822, the president of Haiti, Jean-Pierre Bouyer, occupied Spain and Haiti, and once again completed the reunification of the island. After Boyer occupied the eastern Spanish state of Haiti and liberated all the local slaves, Bouyer ordered the confiscation of the land of the white landlords and the complete return of the agricultural land of the whole country. Bouye also closed all universities, included all multinational (Dominican Republic for short) men between the ages of 18 and 25 in the army, and began to adopt a high-handed policy towards many countrymen. Many upper-class whites left the island and fled to Cuba, Puerto Rico and other areas. [3]

Bouye began to plant cash crops on the island, carry out tax reform and open up trade with foreign countries. Although these policies have greatly increased sugar cane and coffee production in Dominica, they are not widely accepted by farmers. Bouye thought that the liberation of many countries was a boon to many people, so he often did not pay any pay to Dominican soldiers in the army, and many soldiers began to rob local residents everywhere. This vicious circle eventually led to economic stagnation and heavier and heavier fiscal taxes, which led many people around the world, even the liberated slaves, to unite against the rule of Bouaye and overthrew the Bouayer regime in 1843.

The secret society organization Trinity experience (La Trinitaria) aims to gain independence from the rule of Haiti. Soon after, Matthias Ramon Malia and Francisco del Rosario Sanchez joined the Trinity experience. All three were later called the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic. On February 27, 1844, the people of the Dominican Republic launched a war of independence against Haiti and declared the independence of the Dominican Republic at the same time. The constitution of the Dominican Republic, modelled on the Charter of the United States, was declared on November 6, 1844. In the decades after the independence of the Dominican Republic, its domestic economic and political ups and downs, from 1844 to 1856 was constantly attacked by neighboring Haiti, during this period can be said to be internal and external problems constantly. During the same period, Pedro Santana (commander-in-chief of the army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and later became the first, fourth and eighth president) and Buenaventura Baez participated in the War of Independence. (he has been elected as a multinational president five times). The two men were headstrong and unyielding to each other when they came to power. Santana firmly believed that Dominica must be attached to the umbrella of the Spanish Empire in order to avoid the aggression of Haiti. After hoping that France's plan to defend Dominica failed, Baez turned to hope that Dominica would be incorporated into the United States, and that Dominica's earliest coffee was introduced from Martinique (France's overseas province). It dates back to the early 18th century. Dominica is an island country with a tropical climate, with little change in temperature throughout the year. Except for the lower temperature in the Central Cordillera Mountains, which can reach less than 0 ℃ in winter, the average annual temperature in other areas is between 25 and 30 ℃, while affected by the mountain topography, the north and east face the northeast trade wind with an annual precipitation of 1500-2500 mm, which belongs to tropical maritime climate. The mountain forest is dense, the leeward southwest annual precipitation is 500-1000 mm, the dry season is long, belongs to the savanna climate.

The temperate climate in Dominica is conducive to coffee cultivation, and the best places to grow coffee are the Barahona region in the southwest and the Cibao Valley north of Santiago, Dominica's second largest city. The northern region, represented by Hibao, and the southern region, including Okayabani Santo Domingo, produce good coffee. Among them, the coffee produced by Santo Domingo and Barney is world-famous and is almost synonymous with domiga coffee.

Dominica-White Beach and Black Coffee

Coffee in Dominica varies slightly in taste according to the altitude of the region where it is grown, with sour but rich taste in the highlands, and less sour and smoother taste in the lowlands. On the other hand, the high-quality coffee beans produced by some Dominica estates have rich aroma, mellow taste and moderately bright sour taste. Compared with the coffee beans of Puerto Rico or Jamaica, the Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of turbulence and poverty. Now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development, but it has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with China. Instead, it maintains the so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. It seems that this has nothing to do with coffee, but in fact, it still has an impact. The exchanges between the two countries that have not established diplomatic relations are subject to many restrictions in all aspects, of course, it will also affect our coffee trade. Dominican coffee is mainly exported to the United States and a small number of European countries because of its superior quality, which is rarely seen in our Chinese mainland.
