Buying Tips
Region: Barahona sits in the Sierra de Bahoruco in the southwest, one of the Dominican Republic's highest and brightest-tasting regions
Domestic consumption: Dominicans love coffee and drink most of what they grow; exports tend to be higher-quality regional lots
Varieties: Mainly Typica and Caturra, brighter in style than Jamaican coffee
Brewing Notes
Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 91°C, ratio 1:15
