It is a single Dominican typica wash with grape-like fruitiness and a hint of astringency and a savory cacao flavor.
The history of the propagation of coffee, especially the Typica variety, to the Dominican Republic is long, and cultivation began in the first half of the 18th century after being brought to the island of Martinique, which is famous by France, and neighboring Haiti.
Typica trees grow taller than a person's height and the color of the tips of the leaves is bronze.
It prefers a cool climate, and although the growth speed is average, there is a lot of variation in the timing of fruiting, and the harvest time is long.
The appearance of green beans is elongated, and in flavor it has a refreshing and elegant acidity reminiscent of citrus.
It is vulnerable to pests and diseases, and in recent years, it has been rapidly replaced by dwarf, easy-to-maintain, and high-yielding hybrid varieties in various countries, and the pure Typica variety is now in danger of extinction.
Even in Dominica, where the Typica variety has been relatively protected, there is a wave of replacement with another variety, and the farmers who grow pure Typica are limited to a few areas in the mountainous Barahona area.
This lot was harvested in the José Olivares area, which is a mountainous area in Barahona and has a very small population.
In November 2022, the Typica coffee project was launched in the same area, and the promotion of agriforestry began by combining the planting of Typica trees under the leadership of the state.
