Much of the coffee production in the Dominican Republic is organic, though many farms are not officially certified. The majority is also shade-grown, often under a canopy of native pine, macadamia and guava trees. The farms are typically small - less than eight acres on average - and are spread throughout the country’s six growing regions.

These were officially denominated by the government to better promote the individual profiles of the coffees from these distinct microclimates. The regions are Cibao, Bani, Azua, Ocoa, Barahona and Juncalito. Each region creates beans with distinct physical and chemical characteristics.

The coffee produced by the many small growers who make up the Caficultores de Juncalito coffee is a unique blend of specialty coffee beans obtained from the highest producing areas in the province of Santiago at over 1,000 meters above sea level.

The coffee is grown under shade and harvesting takes place from November to May, peaking in April during the Semana Santa (Holy Week) festival.

It has a low to medium acidity, creamy body, citric and spicy combination, tones of raisins and is consistent cup after cup.
