Santo Domingo Barahona

About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee from the Dominican Republic comes from the Barahona coffee region in the southwest of the country, specifically from the Gajo del Toro farm in the city of Polo. The coffee is shade-grown, hand-picked, and wet-processed. It is a Typica variety that grows at altitudes between 600 and 1400 meters above sea level. The coffee is characterized by being almost entirely acid-free with a powerful, robust body and dry mouthfeel. It features nutty fullness with straightforward flavor characteristics. The coffee is grown under shade trees including guava, pine, and macadamia, with the climate allowing for slow maturation of the coffee cherries.
