Cuban Crystal Mountain Coffee with Tobacco flavour

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 Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Crystal Mountain Coffee beans are typical island beans with a clean and delicate taste, slightly sour taste, not strong but long-lasting, with sweet fruit aromas. The coffee brewed by it has a rare and perfect taste: it is bitter with aroma and a mellow and smooth taste. It slightly contains wine-like bitterness and a touch of sweetness, and even a hint of tobacco, meticulous and smooth, fresh and elegant. Many flavors are mixed together, and the match is almost perfect.
