Dominica Coffee Variety characteristics and Flavor description introduction to Fine Coffee beans in Manor

L'Or é al arrived in Santo Domingo in 1801. He abolished slavery on behalf of the French government. In 1802, Napoleon sent troops to conquer the whole island and ruled for several months. In October 1802, mixed-race and black people revolted against French rule and repelled the French army in 1803. On January 1, 1804, the rebels declared Santo Domingo independent and established the Republic of Haiti. But the defeated French still occupy the Santo Domingo area to the east. At the same time as the French invaded Spain in 1808, the rebels in Santo Domingo in the east of the island were assisted by Britain and Haiti, which were allied with Spain at that time, and finally repelled French troops. Boyer, who made Santo Domingo a Spanish colony again, began to grow cash crops on the island, carried out tax reform and opened 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.

To trace the origin of Tibica, we should first talk about the coffee trees originally planted in Martinique. These trees were planted by Dominicans as far back as the early 18th century, so Dominica began growing coffee as early as that time. For a time, the Caribbean was almost synonymous with coffee production, but in recent years Cuba, Haiti and other places have been severely damaged by Hurricane George, and later planted Kaddura species with lower numbers and higher harvests.

Dominica coffee is mainly produced in areas such as Cibao in the Central Mountains, the Caribbean and Barahona. There are many large estates in Siwao, and coffee trees are planted with 75% Kaddura and 25% Tibica. In terms of varieties, Baraona is an area with a high proportion of Tibika seeds.

Located in the Jarabacoa region near Siwao, it has the largest farm in Dominica-Ramirez Manor (RamirezEstates), which mainly grows Kaddura varieties, and most of the coffee produced is sold to Europe, the United States and other western countries and regions. Ramirez Manor itself produces coffee in an environmentally friendly way.

Coffee in Dominica is graded in sizes such as AA and AB, but it is classified as top grade by coffee from highlands such as Sivao and Baraona. Both kinds of coffee are harvested from February to May and are refined by washing.

Variety Kind

Kaddura species are increasing day by day

Hit hard by the hurricane in 1998, countless losses were lost everywhere, so the local area generally began to plant Kaddura species with lower tree height and higher harvest. Although Baraona still has Tibica coffee, its harvest has been greatly reduced because of the annual hurricane damage.

Planting Cultivation

The climatic conditions are no different from those of the highlands.

The climatic conditions in Dominica are similar to those in the higher elevations of Central America. The low altitude areas began to harvest in September, while the highland areas with elevations of 600-1500m began to harvest in February-April of the following year. Most of them adopt water washing refining.
