Raw beans exported by Cuba have different prices according to different grades, and the first priority buyers are Japan, France, followed by Italy, Spain, Germany, Canada, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Without the influence of the political climate, there is no doubt that Cuba would have become an important supplier of coffee to the United States and Japan in 1748. 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 bright green Crystal Mountain Coffee with bright beans 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 global coffee lovers can still be compared with Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.
