Introduction to manors in coffee flavor and taste producing areas of Dominica

The Dominican Republic has also experienced a history of turmoil and poverty. Now the country has implemented democratic elections and entered a period of stable development. However, it has not yet established formal diplomatic relations with China, but maintains so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. It seems that these things have nothing to do with coffee, but in fact they still have an impact. The exchanges between the two countries without diplomatic relations are subject to many restrictions in all aspects, which will of course also affect our coffee trade. Dominican coffee is mainly exported to the United States and a small number of European countries because of its superior quality. It is rarely seen in the mainland of China.

The earliest coffee in Dominica was introduced from Martinique (French overseas department), dating back to the early 18th century. Dominica is an island country with a tropical climate. The annual temperature does not change much. Except for the middle Cordillera mountain area, where the temperature is relatively low and can reach below 0℃ in winter, the annual average temperature in other areas is between 25 and 30℃. However, due to the influence of mountain terrain, the north and east face the northeast trade wind, and the annual precipitation reaches 1500-2500 mm. It belongs to a tropical marine climate. Mountain forest dense, leeward southwest annual precipitation of 500-1000 mm, longer dry season, a tropical savanna climate.

Dominica's mild climate is conducive to coffee cultivation, and the best production areas for coffee are the Barahona region in the southwest and the Cibao Valley in the interior north of Santiago, Dominica's second largest city. The northern region, represented by Ciba, and the southern region, including Ocayabani Santo Domingo, produce fine coffee. Among them, Santo Domingo and Bani produced coffee world-famous, almost synonymous with Domica coffee
