Dominican Republic "Polo"

Roast Profile:  Medium dark Flavor Profile: This coffee is mild & mellow with a medley of flavors Certification: organic, fairly traded

 

This organic, fairly traded Dominican coffee is an environmental success story. The Polo community, located in the Barahona region, is well known for its excellent coffee growing conditions, but has suffered in their production of specialty grade coffee. In 2002, several organizations and private benefactors contracted with 143 families to make drastic changes in their farming methods and ethics. After 5 years, the Polo community has seen increased forest coverage and diversified farming, thanks to fruit trees planted to give shade to the coffee plants. Soil productivity has improved as a result of the use of community-manufactured organic fertilizers. Erosion is now under control, and biodiversity has been preserved due in large part to the elimination of the use of toxic chemicals to grow the coffee and to the over 5,000 trees of native species that have been planted.

The coffee is now certified organic and fairly traded, fetching a much higher price for the farming families. The end result of all this hard work is a wonderful cup of Dominican coffee!  It's a true hidden treasure we are proud to source from these hard-working and determined people of the Polo Community.

About this certified coffee: Each bag has a certified paper trail leading back to the Polo community farms, confirming that the farmers received fair wages and the product is grown organically.
