It’s not just about where coffee grows but how high up it grows. Flavors become lighter and more complex the further from sea level a coffee grows, going from earthy to sweet to nutty citrus and chocolate to spiced wine and fruits.
Precipitation, temperature, and humidity have a lot of say in a coffee’s maturation, overall flavor, and quality. Many coffee-producing countries are either primed for growing success or use alternative methods to improve their ecosystem.
A coffee’s process describes how the seed (aka the coffee bean) is separated from the coffee cherry. Popular methods include washed, dry, and honey, but there are many other processes that put special emphasis on different aspects of these methods.
Harvest and export times are based off when a particular coffee will be at its peak quality. Cherries picked at the start of the harvest season tend to be underdeveloped, and those picked at the end are often overdeveloped, so producers aim for that sweet spot in the middle.
Haiti’s mountainous geography is perfect for coffee growing, since sweeter, lighter coffees grow best at high altitudes. Additionally, native trees provide plentiful shade, and the Haitian climate keeps the temperature nice and humid. This all translates to coffees that are velvety and low in acidity with notes of juicy stone fruit. If you’re looking for a mellow cup, Haiti is the origin for you.
