CUBA probably wouldn't be your first answer when asked to name a coffee producer. But this large Caribbean island is responsible for small amounts of premium Arabica, which have been making their way into Ireland since 2004, thanks to Cafe de Cuba, a Dublinbased company.
Cultivated and hand-picked under the forest canopies of the Sierra Maestro mountains, the beans are naturally sun-dried before being roasted and packaged in Havana.
The coffee is so good that their Santiago Premium blend is now being stocked in Harrods. Closer to home you'll find their delicious brews online at www. cubascoffee. com. Available ground or in fresh beans. A 250g bag costs from 7.
