CUBA – SERRANO

The first coffee plantations in Cuba date back to the 18th century, when French settlers introduced arabica to the mountainous lands in the eastern part of the island. Since then, coffee cultivation has centered on the Sierra Maestra, an iconic mountain range with rugged terrain and a tropical climate tempered by altitude, offering ideal conditions for producing distinctive coffees.

This Cuba Serrano is grown at elevations between 1,000 and 1,300 meters in the heart of the Sierra Maestra. Made primarily from Typica, Caturra, and Catimor varieties, it is harvested from September to January and then sun-dried, using a traditional method that preserves the bean’s full aromatic richness. Classified as washed, it receives careful processing that highlights the natural finesse of Cuban arabica.

In the cup, it reveals delicate acidity, supported by a powerful, structured body. Its indulgent profile unfolds with notes of walnut, nougat, and vanilla, creating a full-bodied, warm, and elegant cup. An authentic, distinctive coffee that reflects Cuban expertise and the singular character of its mountains.
