A brief introduction to the History and Culture of the Origin and Development of Cuban Crystal Mountain Fine Coffee beans

The suitable natural conditions provide a favorable natural environment for the growth of coffee trees. Coffee is well cultivated and developed here, and 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.

Crystal Mountain is geographically adjacent to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, with similar climatic conditions and flavor similar to Blue Mountain Coffee, comparable to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. It is also known as "the Blue Mountain of Cuba" and the purest Crystal Mountain Coffee is the famous Cubita in Cuba. It slightly contains wine-like bitterness and a touch of sweetness, and even a hint of tobacco, meticulous and smooth, fresh and elegant, almost perfect. It is known as the "noble and elegant princess" in coffee. The general taste of coffee is as strong as heavy metal music, while the taste of Cubita is as delicate and balanced as the softness of country minor. It will take you out of the restless urban hustle and bustle and come back to the quiet countryside to reflect the casual and comfortable side of life.

Crystal Mountain Coffee is the top representative of Cuban coffee, while Cubita is the top representative of Crystal Mountain Coffee. Cubita Amber is the coffee for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Cuba, and the coffee for the Shanghai World Expo-Cuba Pavilion. Noble women and elegant men are always infatuated. The same is true of Cubita. If you take a shallow taste, you will be deeply attracted by its taste and intoxicated with it, making people unable to extricate themselves.

The country is divided into 15 provinces, one special zone, and 168 cities under the province. [3] the names of the provinces are as follows: Binaldrio (Pinar del R í o), Artemisa (Artemisa), Mayabek (Mayabeque), Havana (Provincia de la Habana, capital) Established for provincial cities), Matansas (Matanzas), Cienfuegos (Cienfuegos), Viaclara (Villa Clara), Sancti Spiritus (Ciego de á vila), Camag ü ey (Camag ü ey), Las Tunas (Las Tunas), Holguin (Holgu í n), Grama (Granma), Santiago (Santiago de Cuba)

, Guant á namo (Guant á namo) and Youth Island District (Municipio Especial Isla de la Juventud). Except that Havana is the capital of Havana, Santa Clara is the capital of Viaclara, Bayamo is the capital of Grama, San Jose de Lajas is the capital of Mayabek, and Nueva Gerona is the capital of Youth Island, all the provincial capitals are rectangular with the Cuban flag of the same name, with a length-to-width ratio of 2 ∶ 1. On one side of the flagpole is a red equilateral triangle with a white five-pointed star; the right side of the flag is composed of three blue wide stripes and two white wide stripes parallel and connected. Triangles and stars were originally symbols of Cuba's secret revolutionary organizations, symbolizing freedom, equality, fraternity and the blood of patriots. The five-pointed star also represents that Cuba is an independent people. Three wide blue stripes indicate that the future republic will be divided into eastern, western and central states; the white stripes indicate that the Cuban people have a pure purpose in the war of independence. [12]

For the shield emblem. The blue part above the shield represents the Caribbean Sea; a sun rises from the sea, and the horizontal key indicates that Cuba is a key to the Gulf of Mexico (the island of Cuba is shaped like a key), indicating the importance of its geographical location. The lower left of the shield is blue and white twill, and the pattern on the lower right is grass, mountains and palm trees. The shield emblem is flanked by oak branches and leaves and laurel branches and leaves; behind it is a bundle of sticks, symbolizing authority; and above the bars is a "cap of freedom", indicating the struggle for freedom and freedom.

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 near-perfect coffee is introduced into Cuba from Domiga, where coffee has been grown 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.

The area is 109884 square kilometers [3], of which Cuba is 104555.61 square kilometers and the surrounding islands and reefs are 3126.43 square kilometers.

Cuba is located in the northwest of the Caribbean Sea, facing Haiti to the east, 140 kilometers to the south from Jamaica and 217 kilometers to the north from the top of the Florida Peninsula.

Cuba, composed of more than 1600 islands such as Cuba and Youth Island (former Pine Island), is the largest island country in the West Indies.

Topography

Cuba's coastline is about 6000 kilometers long, most of which are flat, with mountains in the east and middle and hills in the west, and most of the territory has a savanna climate. [6]

In addition to Cuba, it also includes more than 1600 surrounding islands of different sizes. The islands are made up of five islands: Savannah, Camag ü ey, Colorados, Queen's Garden and Canareos. Youth Island (also known as Pine Island), located in Batahuano Bay, is the only larger island along the coast. The total length of the coastline is 6073 kilometers. Most of the island of Cuba is flat, with mountains accounting for only 1x4 of the total area. There are three major mountains in the country: the Guaniganico Mountains, the Eskambria Mountains and the Maestra Mountains (the highest mountain range in Cuba, of which Mount Turchino is 1974 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Cuba).

Hydrology

The longest river in Cuba, R í o Cauto, is 370km long. [1] Cuba has more than 200 rivers and thousands of streams, most of which run north-south, so the current is shallow and fast. The Cato River, which flows east-west to the north of the Maestra Mountains, is the largest river in Cuba, but it is only 370 kilometers long and is the only navigable river in Cuba. Cuba's coastline is tortuous, generally steep in the north and flat in the south, with many good ports. Almost all of them are bays in the shape of pockets and bellies, which are very beneficial to shipping. The important bays are Havana Bay, Nippe Bay, Guantanamo Bay, Santiago Bay, Sienfugos Bay, Onda Bay and Matansas Bay and so on. [7]

Climatic change

Most of Cuba has a tropical rain forest climate, only the southwestern coastal leeward slope has a savanna climate, with an annual average temperature of 25 ℃. Except for a few areas, the annual precipitation is more than 1000 mm.

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.

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 crude mineral fruit flavor to the coffee. Cuba has a fertile land, humid climate and abundant Rain Water, which can be called a natural treasure land for coffee cultivation.
