Arabica coffee was originally introduced to Cuba in 1748 from Martinique by Jose Antonio Gelabert, but it was the large influx of French colonial planters from Haiti in 1792 (following the slave revolt in Haiti) which transformed Cuba into a significant Caribbean producer of coffee.
These French emigres settled in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra Mountains of Eastern Cuba where they created large plantations.
Our fully-washed Turquino Lavado is grown principally from 1000 to 2000 meters in the Sierra Maestra, and produces a lovely cup characterised by good body, mellow acidity/fruitiness, full body, sweety floral and with cocoa notes at the finish.
