Cuba Sierra Cristal

Cuba Sierra Cristal is a rich, smooth Cuban coffee named for the mountain range where its beans are grown. Freshly roasted on demand in our Montréal facility, it carries the full body and gentle, low-acid character Cuban coffees are loved for, with a delicate sweet aroma and a subtle hint of chocolate. It is an easy-drinking cup that works beautifully as filter coffee or espresso.

Tasting Notes

This is a mellow, full-flavoured cup with real depth. A rich, rounded body carries a delicate sweetness and a soft note of cocoa, finishing clean and smooth. Gentle on the palate and easy to return to, it is as satisfying black as it is with milk.

Origin

Cuba Sierra Cristal comes from the Sierra Cristal mountains of eastern Cuba, a region long associated with full-bodied, naturally smooth coffee. The island's growing tradition and mountain terroir give this coffee its signature richness and its soft, low-acidity profile. It is a distinctive origin with a character all its own.

Roast

Cuba Sierra Cristal is finished at a medium roast, developed to build body and caramelise the beans' natural sugars for a rounder, sweeter cup. The medium roast keeps the coffee's smoothness and delicate cocoa sweetness at the forefront, letting the character of the Cuban beans come through.

Brewing

For espresso, use about 1 tbsp (8 g) of coffee per 1 oz (30 ml) of fresh water. For filter or drip coffee, use 1 tbsp (8 g) per 8.5 oz (250 ml) of fresh water.
