Dominican Republic

[Coffeeexpert]

Anyone here tried coffee from the Domincan Republic? What do you think of it?

I like it (going through some Santo Domingo Ocoa) but Cuban is way better.

Haven't tried either. In US we can not by Cuban.

I've tried some good Cuban. I'm hopeing that Dominican coffee is comparable but I've heard it is a bit bland.

The nose/aroma of the Dominican was chocolatey but as you suggest, it was a bit bland. I mixed some African to it in order to enhance the taste.

It tastes nothing like cuban...of which I have had good Cuban and bad Cuban. It is a much more pungent coffee.

I understand coffees from El Salvador are closest but I have not tried any.

....oops! Should read Ecuador rather than El Salvador.

...oops, I mean Ecuadoran coffee.

This may be a repeat post but the original still has not appeared from quite some time ago.

I meant to say Ecuador and not El Salvador.

I have tried coffee from El Salvadore from El milagro and it is very good but I have never had Cuban so I can't compare.

I still have some extra Turquino green beans and am currently drinking the last of my Serrano beans.......as mentioned, they are more pungent. Very nice, mild cup.
