About
Haitian
Mountain
Bleu/Blue Coffee
|
|
Haiti
is
a
small
place
-
about
the
size
of
Maryland.
Plus,
much
of
it
is
vertical.
Mountains
aren't
good
for
most
agriculture,
but
they're
IDEAL
for
coffee
growing;
coffee
trees
thrive
in
moist
but
well-drained
soil
at
high
altitudes. The higher the altitude, the bigger the bean, the better the coffee.
Because
coffee
trees
are
water-intensive,
they
do
best
growing
in
the
shade. Fruit
trees
provide
ideal
canopies
where
fruit
becomes
additional
food.
Although small, Roosters are tenacious. We're quickly building a network with small scale farmer cooperatives; eventually, we'll source coffee from all major coffee regions in Haiti. |
Every
bag
has
a
mission.
Each
12
oz
bag
of
Haitian
Mountain
Blue
is
$9.50
-
100%
of
proceeds
go
back
to
Haiti: that's a whopping 33% per bag! Here's what we do with proceeds.
Our
Haitian
Mountain
Blue
coffee
is
rare
and
comes
from
the
same
type
of
coffee
plant
&
is
grown
in
a
similar
region
as
the
wildly
successful
Jamaican
Blue
coffee
-
but
at
a
fraction
of
the
price.
We trade
directly with the farmers - we export
beans
green
from
Haiti
to
the
U.S.;
we
air
roast
these beautiful beans
in
small
batches
to
provide
FRESH
and
EXCELLENT
tasting
coffee.
Our customers say great things about us -- in numerous, unsolicited reviews. |
Haitian coffee is a classic Caribbean in every sense -- chocolatety sweet with mellow citrus-highlights. It’s a perfect cup for those who like to ease into their day or relax with coffee after work. If you’re a fan of Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona / Hawaiian coffees, you’ll love Haitian. |
Fair Trade / Direct Trade: we’re often asked if our coffee is certified fair trade & our answer is: “We are Direct Traders: we work with and buy our beans directly from farmer owned cooperatives. We provide pre-harvest financing and pay well above Fair Trade prices (which isn't hard ). Most importantly, we’re a nonprofit and use coffee as a means to support the extremely poor in Haiti where we return 100% of the proceeds of coffee sales back to the farmers and their communities in the form of projects that support coffee production, land management, and small business development/entrepreneurship.
Our
coffee
is from
a single
origin
and is
natural;
natural
crops mean
a better
coffee,
a better
environment.
Put simply,
Haitian
farmers
can’t
afford
chemicals;
they use
natural
and organic
methods
like composting
and shade-grown
farming
techniques.
Our
RARE
Mountain
Blue
roast
is
rich,
nutty
&
semi-sweet;
cool
nights
at
high
altitudes
produce
gentle
&
FLAVORFUL
coffees!
Haitian
Mountain bleu
coffee
growers
hand
pick
coffee
cherries;
wet
processing
techniques
yield
a
unique
blue-green
colored
bean.
We
ship
these
BEAUTIFUL,
100% Arabica
beans
from
Haiti
to
the
U.S.;
we
air roast
in
small
batches
to
cultivate
the
natural
nuances
of
the
beans
to
a
medium,
dark
roast.
This
allows
for
a
clean
cup
and
yields
FRESH
and
EXCELLENT
tasting
coffee
that
is
perfectly
balanced
in
body
and
acidity. |
