Cuba Caribbean Coffee Bean Flavor Taste Aroma Description

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 law of washing makes the aroma of fruit more into the coffee beans, adding a rough fruit aroma to the coffee.

At present, Crystal Mountain Coffee is very precious. There are two main reasons: the first reason is that the United States imposes economic sanctions on Cuba and does not open up 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, but also contains a hint of tobacco, meticulous and smooth, refreshing and elegant. Many flavors are mixed together, and the match is almost perfect.

Cuba is famous for producing sugar, tobacco and coffee, which was introduced from Haiti by the French in the mid-18th century. According to the size of coffee beans, the grades are divided into ETL (Super), TL (Intermediate) and AL (ordinary). The coffee beans produced in Cuba are rich in texture and have a strong smoky taste.

In Cuba, the cultivation of coffee is regulated by the state. The best coffee growing area in Cuba is located in the Central Mountains. In addition to growing coffee, this area is also known as Crystal Mountain because it also produces precious minerals such as quartz and crystal. At present, Crystal Mountain Coffee is synonymous with top Cuban coffee. One of the remarkable features of Crystal Mountain Coffee is the size of the particles and the bright green color of the beans.

The vast majority of Cuban coffee beans are picked by hand. Coffee beans are picked about every half a month during the ripening period. After picking, people sort the coffee beans and get rid of the immature and bad beans to ensure the quality of the coffee.
