Introduction to the taste of the fresh, elegant and full-grained boutique coffee manor in Dominica

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 finally led to economic stagnation and heavier and heavier fiscal taxes, causing people of many countries and even liberated slaves to unite against the rule of Bouaye and overthrew the Bouayer regime in 1843.

Turning to the introduction of Dominican coffee, the most distinctive features are fresh and elegant, full of particles, excellent acidity and pleasant flavor (two colleagues agree with this). Such flavor characteristics are not only related to varieties and soil quality, but also closely related to the picking and handling of raw beans. Coffee in Dominica is selected by the manual method with the highest cost, and workers mainly consider the fullness of coffee granules and the uniformity of coffee granules. According to these conditions, the coffee beans with the fullest and most uniform grains can represent the best quality in Dominica. The finest coffee. And only choose the washing treatment method to ensure the high quality and stability of coffee beans. The coffee beans treated with water washing method taste cleaner and exude a touch of pure and soft fragrance, which can make people feel a faint fruity aroma and a winding aftertaste. Smooth and smooth Dominican coffee is also slightly different in taste according to the altitude of the planting region, and the taste of the highland is slightly sour, but the taste is rich. The lowland is less sour and tastes smoother. On the other hand, the high-quality coffee beans produced by some Dominican estates have a rich aroma, mellow taste and moderately bright sour taste. Compared with the famous Puerto Rican or Jamaican coffee beans, the earliest coffee in Dominica was introduced from Martinique (France's overseas province), dating 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 famous all over the world, which is almost synonymous with domiga coffee.
