Coffee has been for a long time the backbone of Haiti’s agricultural economy. Untouched by chemicals and shade grown above 4000 feet, Caribbrew Coffee is smooth and low in acidity. Their coffee beans are then meticulously picked and roasted in small batches for a fresh cup. It is a strong coffee with a full body, full of flavor, a real treat. Recently, the company’s production declined due to the natural catastrophes that devastated the island. Unwilling to let go of their coffee, Caribbrew works in partnership with associations of small scale coffee farmers in Haiti to grow the best Arabica beans and create long term, sustainable jobs.
