In Cuba a cup of black, strong coffee and a little sugar, is part of the daily life. ¨Who doesn´t like coffee is not a typical Cuban¨, some say because of the pleasure Cubans feel when having the dark drink.

However, the coffee is not originally from the Island. The French immigrants that settled down in the island after the Haitian Revolution at the end of the XVIII century brought it. They discovered excellent mountainous lands for its cultivation. Still today there are coffee properties ruins, which are unquestionable relics that time, have conserved for History. These ruins can be found in the Rosario Sierra, in the western part of Pinar del Río and in the Great Stone, very near the city of Santiago de Cuba.

In little time the coffee became one of the main economical lines of Cuba and in a coveted and popular product for all Cubans. Singers and songwriters have devoted songs and poems to the coffee.

Although the Cuban coffee production is not prolific, the quality of its grains is high and recognized by the international demanding market and have emerged brands such as Hola, Cubita, Turquino, Serrano,Extra Turquino and the claimed Crystal Mountain. Together with rum and cigars, the Cuban coffees form a trilogy of flavor that has travelled the world, and continues delighting palates in and outside the Island.
