Cuban beans

[mwcalder05]

I can't really see how a Cuban can fit in a blend because it's so unique! Our one at work has gotten some really nice smooth smokey, tobacco and cocoa notes and I don't see why you would want to put other things with it!

It all comes to the taste not because some people dont agree then the rest of coffee lovers community shouldnt or cant experiment. Cuban does not have body as rich as others. Even compared to kenya, it is not. In general i like my cuban in an espresso cup, stand alone, with sugar but thats me, with milk i enjoy it mixed with the kenyan AB or evn AA. It adds to the body but thats my opinion. Others may or may not agree. My friend at coficom (coffee importer) told me it has medium body, but again thats his and his company opinion based on their cupping score. Coffee in kenya is grown around at 2 to 3 thousands meter elevation plateau at mt kenya that is very high compared to cubam sierra maestra, thats why i said it is considered lower altitude hence the low acidity flavour in it. But who knows ive never been there nor measured the mountain myself. So i might be wrong, maybe some ppl are more expert. Just loving my cup and sharing my own experience to other coffee lovers here. Cheers

The highest quality Very High Altitude coffees in Kenyan are, in fact, grown between 1300-1800m altitude, with the majority of Kenyan beans being grown between 1000-1300m. The highest quality Seranno coffee in Cuba is grown at 1000m of altitude and, in my opinion, yields wonderfully rich and full-bodied coffee... if properly roasted.
