Dominican Republic grows a lot of coffee, but they drink most of it. Only 20% of the crop is exported.

Their coffee does not have high demand in the USA. Even the higher grade lots tend to be fairly inexpensive, with very mild, mellow flavor, little to no acidity, and a clean aftertaste. This one caught our attention because it's a Natural process, making it sweeter and more complex than your average coffee.

You can roast this like a Costa Rica Natural or Ethiopia Natural. Keep it light, not too far out of the 1st cracks. Lots of airflow. Roughly three minutes and 10 seconds from when 1st cracks begin to where the roast ends is working for us. 

It's a VIBRANT coffee with almost an anaerobic effervescent character; really gets your attention. A flash of cherry, red fruits, caramel. The farm is so remote that they have to be self sufficient, and they have figured out how to use the gas from the fermenting beans to power the farm. You can tell that the beans have undergone fermentation -- they are alive in your mouth!

I do like it as espresso or in an espresso blend as well, as it gives you a zippy, fruity shot that sticks with you.
