Dominican Republic – Bahoruco | Barahona

Rafael Santos – RS01

In the southwestern mountains of the Dominican Republic, where coffee cherries ripen slowly on the fertile slopes of the Sierra de Bahoruco, Rafael Santos produces a coffee that perfectly reflects the character of this special region.

This carefully washed Arabica is processed by hand and grows at elevations between approximately 1,200 and 1,600 meters above sea level. Thanks to the cool mountain climate, the cherries develop a refined sweetness and lively freshness, resulting in a balanced and elegant cup of coffee.

With a cupping score of 86.3 points, this coffee is among the specialty coffees. Expect a silky body, a bright, clean finish, and a flavor profile in which dark chocolate, cane sugar, orange, and dried apricot come together harmoniously.

This coffee is an excellent choice for fans of an approachable yet distinctive single origin. Its natural sweetness and subtle fruitiness shine beautifully as both filter coffee and espresso.
