• Taste: Low to medium levels of acidity; silky, creamy, heavy-bodied texture; warm overtones of cinnamon, cardamom, and other spices; subtle hints of fruit and dark chocolate
• Aftertaste: Smooth finish
Growing the coffeeThe coffee is generally grown on small plots of land and on family farms, some of which are upwards of 6,000 ft. above sea level, and harvested in the late spring and early to mid-summer.
Many of these factors combine to give the beans a unique taste, and to make them a low-quantity, high-demand coffee on the international market.
Many pieces of the growing, cultivating, trading, and transporting processes still have major factors that have not yet been ironed out. Here’s an interesting account of the coffee industry.
Extremely localized in its nature, and hardly organized on a large scale as is seen, farmers generally cultivate small numbers of often haphazard coffee plants and sell the harvested beans to collectors who pass them along, making the quality hard to predict without proper oversight.
This means that we at Goldman Dutch choose your coffee beans with care paying attention to the region or city of the island they’re coming from, and ensuring that we work with only reputable farms.

The darkness and deep earthiness of the flavors fit perfectly with a well-pulled espresso, or even a Moka pot.
