Dominican Republic Barahona Wash Processed

About This Coffee

This green (unroasted) coffee is sourced from over 80 farmers in the Dominican Republic, specifically from the Barahona region. The farmers left their cooperative in 2015 to pursue higher wages while continuing to grow Arabica Typica variety. The coffee is processed through the award-winning Ramirez Estate to ensure quality and consistency. This bean may also be referred to as "Santo Domingo" in the industry, as that was the closest port city before specific coffee regions gained recognition.

Café Kreyol

Café Kreyol was founded in January 2012 when its founder travelled from Northern Virginia to Haiti to scout coffee growing regions, starting with 200 producers and growing the supply chain to 2,800 people by 2024. The roastery operates a Loring S70 Peregrine from a 10,000 square foot facility in Manassas, Virginia that includes a production roastery, green coffee warehouse, cupping lab, and classrooms. All coffees are USDA Organic certified, sourced through direct trade partnerships with Haitian producers including COOPACVOD, Haiti's oldest running cooperative with over 850 members. The company pays farmers up to 300% above Fair Trade minimums and invests over $1 million annually in Haiti. Café Kreyol won Roast Magazine's 2023 Roaster of the Year award in the macro category, and the business has more than doubled in size since.
