Description of Coffee Flavor in Crystal Mountain, Cuba. Introduction to the characteristics of producing areas and taste of Coffee varieties

Coffee was introduced to Cuba from Domica in 1748, and Cuba has since grown coffee. The fertile soil, humid climate and abundant rainfall in Cuba make it a natural treasure for coffee cultivation. Suitable natural conditions provide a favorable natural environment for the growth of coffee trees, where coffee is well planted and developed. In Cuba, coffee cultivation is regulated by the State. Cuba's best coffee-growing areas are located in the Central Mountains. Because this area is not only planted with coffee, but also produces precious minerals such as quartz and crystal, it is also known as Crystal Mountain. Currently, Crystal Mountain Coffee is synonymous with premium Cuban coffee. Crystal Mountain Coffee is characterized by its large size and bright green color.

In Cuba, coffee beans are mostly picked by hand. During the ripening period of coffee beans, they are picked about once every half month. During or after picking, coffee beans are sorted to eliminate immature and bad beans to ensure coffee quality. Cubans usually treat coffee beans in two ways--sun and water. Solarization is the simplest, cheapest, and most traditional way to treat coffee. It involves drying the coffee fruit in the sun, but not fermenting it. The average drying time is about four weeks. The washing law allows more of the fruit aroma to enter the coffee beans, thus adding a coarse mineral fruit aroma to the coffee.

At present, Crystal Mountain coffee is very precious. There are two main reasons for this. The first reason is the economic sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba, which do not allow Cuba to import goods. The second reason is that Cuban coffee beans are currently mostly bought by French and Japanese markets, especially Japan, so it is difficult to buy coffee beans directly from Cuba today. Despite this, Cuban coffee is still on par with Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee in the hearts of coffee lovers worldwide
