A brief introduction to the flavor and aroma characteristics of Cuban crystal mountain boutique coffee beans with coarse mineral fruit flavor.

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. One of the remarkable features of Crystal Mountain Coffee is the size of the particles and the bright green color of the 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 fruit more into the coffee beans, thus adding a kind of coarse fruit aroma to the coffee.

Cuba's coastline is tortuous, generally steep in the north and flat in the south, with many good ports.

The important bays are Havana Bay, Nippe Bay, Guantanamo Bay, Santiago Bay, Sienfugos Bay, Onda Bay and Matansas Bay and so on. [7]

Mineral resources

There are nickel, cobalt, manganese, chromium, iron and copper with mining value. Among them, nickel reserves are about 6.6 million tons, accounting for 40.27% of the world's total reserves. Manganese reserves of about 7 million tons; chromium reserves are also rich; iron ore reserves of about 3.5 billion tons, mainly distributed in Mount Nippe and Mount Palakoa, is one of the largest reserves in the world; almost all the mountains of Cuba contain copper deposits; Pine Island has tungsten deposits and produces marble. [8]

Petroleum resources

Cuba announced in 2008 that it had proven recoverable oil reserves of 20 billion barrels, mainly in the Cuban exclusive economic zone in the Gulf of Mexico. However, according to the U. S. Geological Survey, Cuba's offshore oil reserves are about 5 billion barrels, no more than 9 billion barrels at most. [8]

Biological resources

Cuba is surrounded by the sea and is rich in fishery resources, with more than 500 kinds of fish. Sea salt can also be produced along the coasts of Guantanamo, Battigiri and Raisabra. The forest area accounts for about 27.5% of the country's land area and is rich in valuable wood such as mahogany, sandalwood and Cuban pine.
