Introduction to the characteristics of Dominican Santo Domingo Coffee Flavor Manor with rich aroma and mellow taste

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.

The Dominican Republic is a popular country for travelers. It lives next to Haiti on the island of Hispaniola in the West Indies, Dominica in the west and Haiti in the east. The world's whitest and softest white sand, cool sea breeze from the Atlantic and Caribbean and warm sunshine from the tropics make it a holiday paradise on a par with Maldives and Hawaii. It is the second European colony in the American continent after Greenland. It currently has the oldest Catholic churches, universities, roads and bunkers in America, and its capital, Santo Domingo, is also the oldest city and capital in the Americas.

The Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of unrest and poverty, and now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development, but it has not yet formally established diplomatic relations with China, but has maintained 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.

The earliest coffee in Dominica was introduced from Martinique (the overseas province of France), 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 world-famous and is almost synonymous with domiga 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 Dominican estates have a rich aroma, mellow taste and moderately bright sour taste, and are often compared with those from Puerto Rico or Jamaica.
