A brief introduction to the flavor, taste and aroma characteristics of Santo Domingo boutique coffee beans with intertwined aftertaste

The selection of Dominican coffee is usually done manually. The main basis for selection is according to the fullness of coffee particles, whether it is uniform, and then grade it. Generally speaking, coffee with full and uniform grains is easier to preserve. Only the fullest and most evenly grained coffee beans can be roasted to represent the best and finest coffee in the country.

Unlike coffee produced in Haiti, most of the coffee grown in the Dominican Republic has been washed, which is a symbol of high quality. Miniga Coffee uses a washing method to treat coffee beans, so that the quality of treated coffee beans is more guaranteed. The coffee beans treated by washing method retain more original flavor than the drying method, and the aroma is pure and soft.

Carefully selected in this way, the high-quality Dominican coffee exudes a faint aroma with a faint fruity aroma and a lingering finish. The Dominican Republic is located in the east of the island of Haiti in the West Indies, bordered by the Republic of Haiti to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the Caribbean Sea to the south. With an area of about 49000 square kilometers and a population of 7.1 million, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Haiti coexist on an island bordering Haiti. Like its neighbors, the Dominican Republic has a history of revolution and poverty, but now it has democratic elections and the country is relatively stable.

The Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of unrest and poverty, and now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development, but it has not yet formally established diplomatic relations with China, but has maintained so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. It seems that this has nothing to do with coffee, but in fact, it still has an impact. The exchanges between the two countries that have not established diplomatic relations are subject to many restrictions in all aspects, of course, it will also affect our coffee trade. Dominican coffee is mainly exported to the United States and a small number of European countries because of its superior quality, which is rarely seen in our Chinese mainland.

The earliest coffee in Dominica was introduced from Martinique (the overseas province of France), dating back to the early 18th century. Dominica is an island country with a tropical climate, with little change in temperature throughout the year. Except for the lower temperature in the Central Cordillera Mountains, which can reach less than 0 ℃ in winter, the average annual temperature in other areas is between 25 and 30 ℃, while affected by the mountain topography, the north and east face the northeast trade wind with an annual precipitation of 1500-2500 mm, which belongs to tropical maritime climate. The mountain forest is dense, the leeward southwest annual precipitation is 500-1000 mm, the dry season is long, belongs to the savanna climate.

The temperate climate in Dominica is conducive to coffee cultivation, and the best places to grow coffee are the Barahona region in the southwest and the Cibao Valley north of Santiago, Dominica's second largest city. The northern region, represented by Hibao, and the southern region, including Okayabani Santo Domingo, produce good coffee. Among them, the coffee produced by Santo Domingo and Barney is famous all over the world, which is almost synonymous with domiga coffee.
