Origins & Influence

Region: Macizo Nipe-Sagua-Baracoa
Producer: Smallholder farmers and the Alto Serra cooperative
Variety: Typica, Borbon, Catuai and Caturra
Altitude: 450 – 950 m
Processing: washed

The plantations where this coffee is grown are located within the Cuchilla del Toa Biosphere Reserve and the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. The coffee plants thrive here in harmony with the surrounding vegetation. Traditionally, coffee is grown here using mixed cultivation, where various crops and native plants naturally co-exist in the same plots. Banana trees, citrus fruits and yucca plants are grown alongside the coffee, which enrich the soil, store moisture and provide farmers with additional income. Shade trees such as mahogany, guava and cedro protect the coffee from the Caribbean sun and contribute to a vibrant microclimate and great biodiversity.

This Cuban coffee is an all-rounder and has been very popular among PASSENGER customers for years. We continue to offer Cuban coffee beans despite the effort and risks involved due to the US trade embargo against Cuba. PASSENGER is committed to supporting producers by making this special coffee available. A true rarity on the market, Cuban coffee has a mild and unique taste that comes into its own no matter how you brew it.

Please note that due to the US trade embargo against Cuba, Cubano beans cannot be purchased via PayPal or Stripe and therefore cannot be ordered as a subscription.

FAQ

Which coffees are best suited for preparation in a moka pot?

We recommend the espresso blends PASSENGER Blend, blend 2 and RAWS for a strong, sweet mocha.

By comparison, when single origins are brewed in a moka pot the resulting coffee has greater acidity with fruitier notes and develops less body.

What are your priorities when it comes to buying green coffee?

We are committed to fair trade and work with a growing network of distributors who specialise in green coffee, local sourcing crews and agronomists, as well as a growing number of directly affiliated farmers. We constantly strive for higher sustainability standards in the production process and act responsibly throughout the entire coffee value chain. 

How is PASSENGER Decaf decaffeinated?

The PASSENGER Decaf is decaffeinated by a highly regarded Columbian company called Descafecol.

Descafecol uses the sugar-cane process, This involves pure water from Navado el Ruis (a snow-capped volcano on the border between the departments of Caldas and Tolima) and natural ethyl acetate from Palmira, which is obtained through the fermentation of sugarcane. The coffee beans are placed in a solution of water and ethyl acetate and the solution acts as a binding agent for the caffeine.

This gentle method of decaffeination does not require excessive heat or pressure, which allows the beans to retain their natural structure and characteristics.

What’s the shelf life of a bag of coffee?

The best-before date on the packaging is 12 months after the roasting date. Our coffee should ideally be consumed within four weeks of roasting. Depending on the preparation method, the first noticeable changes in taste will become apparent after that time. We recommend storing the coffee in a sealed container at room temperature to keep it fresh.

Why can’t I pay for Cubano via PayPal or Stripe or add it to a subscription?

PayPal and Stripe are not allowed to enter into trade relations with Cuba due to the US trade embargo against Cuba, which has been in place since 1960.

That’s why it is not possible to purchase Cuban goods using these American payment systems. Our subscription function is linked to PayPal and Stripe, so unfortunately we cannot offer Cubano as a subscription.
