    This Haitian organic coffee delivers a beautiful dark roast with an archetypal craft roaster appearance. Dark but no oily sheen, signaling it's just shy of being an artisan dark roast dark roast. On the grind, the aroma is stunning, with rich notes of chocolate and a nutty undertone reminiscent of peanuts and pecans.

    As espresso, the chocolatey depth takes center stage, complemented by hints of walnut and a touch of smoke that gently lingers on the back of the palate. The crema is medium, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel with low acidity. While not particularly complex, its smoothness and approachable profile make it a coffee that many will enjoy (or prefer).

    It's very well-priced on Five Five's website for an organic coffee with a less-seen origin.

    Cupping Method:Espresso worked best for me at 95C.

More Details

Roast Level: Medium Dark
Medium-dark or Vienna roast coffee features a deeper, richer flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. When selecting a Vienna roast, look for a lower acidity, bolder body, and flavors with dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nut notes, and mild smokiness.
Bean Source Country: Haiti
Haitian coffee is characterized by a bold, full-bodied taste with low acidity, accompanied by notes of chocolate, nuts, and spices. Haitian coffee is typically grown at high altitudes ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 MASL in the country's mountainous regions, with rich volcanic soil and cooler climate. Interesting fact: at its peak in the 18th century, Haiti was the world's leading coffee producer.
Organic
Organic coffee is produced without synthetic chemicals, such as pesticides, herbicides, and artificial fertilizers. Instead, organic coffee farmers rely on natural and sustainable agricultural practices like crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control. To be labeled as organic, coffee must meet strict regulations and certification criteria set by governing bodies, such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the European Union (EU). Organic coffee not only supports environmental sustainability but may also offer health benefits, as it contains fewer chemical residues than conventionally grown coffee.
