Café Cult: „Rare gourmet coffee“ Coffee Cuba “Turquino” bag of 250 g, whole bean
Description:
Origin and Plantation
Only the best beans from the plantation areas in the east and the centre of Cuba are used. Most of the coffee grows on steep slopes of the mountain chains at an average altitude of 400 to 800 m. The plantations are managed by state-owned cooperatives. Artificial fertilizers are not used. Control and development of the plants are carried out with great care and it is considered to be of great value to maintain and expand their natural growth. Coffee plantations have always been managed according to the original tradition.
Character and Taste
The best Cuban coffee is the "Turquino". Still a secret tip, it is incomparably well-balanced and spicy, with a full aroma and an incredibly long-lasting aftertaste. It is grown in lower regions; hence it is lower in acidity than other Central American coffees. A rich and original coffee for real connoisseurs. Its bouquet and taste are reminiscent of the character of famous Cuban cigars. The colour of the bean is unique, something in between medium and dark brown. The Cuba "Turquino" is often mentioned among connoisseurs alongside the Blue Mountain from Jamaica and the Kona from Hawaii.
Particularities
All coffee that is produced in Cuba is exported centrally by "Cubaexport" and the producers and processors are paid a fixed price for the coffee by the government. Currently, Japan and France are the most important export markets for Cuba; smaller amounts are also sold to Germany, Great Britain, Canada and New Zealand. On the domestic market, coffee consumption is limited to two ounces of coffee per Cuban citizen, every 15 days.
