Introduction to the characteristics of Cuban Crystal Mountain Coffee Flavor and Fine Coffee beans

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, which is the highest peak in Cuba). 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. Among them, the important bays are Havana Bay, Nippe Bay, Guantanamo Bay, Santiago Bay, Sienfugos Bay, Onda Bay and Matansas Bay.

Located in the West Indies, the Republic of Cuba has a detached and pristine natural environment, the beautiful Caribbean Sea and the world-famous Crystal Mountain Coffee.

In 1748, coffee was introduced into Cuba from Domiga, and Cuba began to grow 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. A prominent feature of Crystal Mountain Coffee is its large granule and bright green color of coffee beans.

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 global coffee lovers can still be compared with Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.
