Hi there... I have been happily roasting away and achieving great results with some Cuba Turquino fron Beanbay and I realized I know very little about it. I have read that the original coffee tree came from Yemen and that French coffee growers from Haiti expanded Cubas existing coffee plantations upon their arrival. So... what cultivar(s) are there in the Turquino? And speaking of Turquino, is the coffee actually grown on its slopes and, if so, at what Altitude? Being from Castros Cuba is it safe to assume that tnis is a co-op coffee from multiple growers and lots or is itinfact from a single Estate? Lastly, is the Turquino on Beanbay the Lavado (washed) or themore traditional dry Processed?
Any answers at all would be greatly appreciated. I like to know what Im roasting.
