The offered freshly roasted coffee comes from the exotic Dominican Republic, located on the western part of the island of Haiti in the Caribbean region. The country owes its name to Christopher Columbus, who discovered the island and named it Hispaniola. The Dominican Republic is famous for its charming beaches, colorful cities and landmarks, such as the city of Santo Domingo founded by Columbus' brother, Bartolomeo. Among the most recognizable people from this country is fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, who gained fame for his unique creations. Thanks to its climate and beautiful landscapes, the Dominican Republic provides excellent conditions for growing coffee, while also being an extremely popular tourist destination.
The history of coffee in the Dominican Republic dates back to the 18th century when coffee plants were brought to the island from France. The first coffee plantations were established in Santo Domingo, which quickly became a center for coffee trade. Dominicans cherish their coffee culture, valuing coffee with a sweet taste, floral notes, and delicate citrus acidity. The coffee growing regions mainly include areas at elevations ranging from 600 to 1450 meters above sea level, where the climate favors the cultivation of different coffee varieties, such as Arabica Typica and Caturra.
The presented coffee comes from the best agricultural region in the Dominican Republic, Valdesia. The coffee plantation is located in the picturesque village of La Colonia, near the town of San José de Ocoa, in the mountainous region of Cordillera Central. The plantation is surrounded by national parks such as Luis Quinn, Máximo Gómez, Cerro de Bocanigua, and the La Barbacoa Scientific Reserve, which is only a few kilometers away from the plantation. The reserve is famous for its diversity of flora and fauna and beautiful landscapes that attract tourists from all over the world.
The coffee plantation is located at elevations ranging from 600 to 1300 meters above sea level and mainly grows Arabica Typica and Caturra varieties. The plantation is owned by the next generation of a family that has been growing coffee for many years. The plantation has quality certifications. La Colonia is located a little over two hours' drive from Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. In La Colonia, Arabica Typica and Caturra coffee bushes dominate, grown in the shade, in small individual farms with an average size of less than 3 hectares. Dominican coffee in a cup perfectly reflects the culture of the country from which it originates, characterized by sweetness, floral notes, and minimal citrus acidity, with a well-balanced taste.
Coffee from the Valdesia region in the Dominican Republic, roasted at the suggested medium roast, is characterized by a unique aroma and intensity of flavor resulting from the freshness of the coffee (the latest, freshest harvests, roasting the coffee on the day of shipment, lightning-fast shipment - often on the day of order placement). In a cup, Dominican coffee delights with a well-balanced taste, sweetness, floral notes, and minimal citrus acidity. In addition, the aroma has notes of dark chocolate and nuts.
Preparing coffee using different techniques, such as an espresso machine, alternative methods (e.g., Aeropress, Chemex, V60), or classic drip, will extract different aspects of the flavor of this exceptional coffee. The choice of brewing method affects the balance of flavors, allowing for experimenting with floral notes, sweetness, or acidity.
Choosing the right amount of coffee is also important. It is recommended to order the amount of coffee that will last for a maximum of 2 weeks, which will allow you to enjoy its freshness. It is also a good idea to choose packaging that can be poured into the container in the coffee machine or the container where you store the coffee.
If you are just starting your journey with freshly roasted coffee, choose medium roast, which provides the most favorable balance between taste notes. As for the level of grinding, it is best to choose the grind that is suitable for the chosen brewing method. For example, for pour-over and alternative methods such as Aeropress, Chemex, or V60, medium grind is recommended. For both manual and automatic pressure espresso machines, a fine grind is recommended. For classic drip coffee, the grind should be slightly coarser than medium. Of course, if you have a grinder, you can grind the beans freshly directly before brewing, which translates into better coffee quality and more intense flavor experiences.
Whether you are a coffee lover or someone who is just starting their coffee adventure, remember that experimenting with different types of coffee, origins, roasts, and brewing methods will allow you to discover your favorite tastes and experiences. Dominican coffee is a unique choice that can satisfy even the most demanding coffee enthusiasts, offering a full taste and richness of flavors. Also, do not forget about other key aspects that affect the quality of brewed coffee. The water you use for brewing is of great importance. It is recommended to use filtered water to avoid the influence of pollutants and minerals on the taste of coffee. Water temperature is also important – the recommended temperature is around 90-96 degrees Celsius. Too hot water can cause bitterness, while too cold water does not extract aromas and flavors well enough.
Next, it is worth paying attention to the proportions of coffee and water. The optimal ratio depends on individual preferences, but as a starting point, you can assume 60 grams of coffee per 1 liter of water. Depending on your taste preferences, you can increase or decrease the amount of coffee to achieve the desired intensity of flavor.
As for coffee brewing methods, it is worth trying different techniques to find the one that best suits your taste. Methods such as pressure espresso machines, Aeropress, Chemex, V60, or classic drip have their unique features and affect the taste of coffee in different ways. Therefore, experimenting with them can help you discover which method suits your expectations.
It is also worth experimenting with different coffee additives, such as flavored syrups, milk, or cream (although we enjoy it without these additions), and different beverage preparation techniques, such as latte, cappuccino, or macchiato. Ultimately, the coffee adventure is about constantly discovering new tastes, aromas, and experiences. Getting to know coffees from different regions of the world, such as the Dominican Republic, can be a great way to expand your taste horizons and understand how diverse the world of coffee can be.

Data sheet
Specific References
A coffee is considered freshly roasted when a minimum of 24 hours from the roasting date has elapsed but no more than 14 days. Coffee after roasting needs 24 hours to rest-decompress, after 14 days from the date of roasting there is a loss of nearly 20% of aroma intensity as well as flavor.
It is the natural taste of coffee, obtained only by roasting coffee without any artificial additives or preservatives. The richness of coffee is precisely in the variety of coffee flavors coming from different regions of the world.
If you prepare coffee with alternative methods (AeroPress, Drip, dripper, V60, Chemex...) be sure to try coffee in light roast.
If you are preparing coffee in a pressurized, pour-over or coffee maker, try coffee in medium roast; it is the most versatile coffee roast.
If you are preparing coffee in a pot, try a dark roast.
Coffee roasted light contains more caffeine than coffee roasted medium or dark. There are usually more noticeable notes of citrus, flowers.
If you're just getting started with fresh-roasted coffees or this particular coffee, it's best to try it in a medium roast for the first time. The medium roast is the most balanced roast between citrus acidity and pronounced chocolate, cocoa.
Dark roast, often associated with Italian roasting, is the exposure of cocoa, dark chocolate notes in coffee; less noticeable are fruit, floral notes. Dark-roasted coffee contains the least caffeine of all 3 roasts.
The amount of caffeine in coffee depends not only on the roasting method, but also on the type of coffee and how it is prepared. However, it is generally believed that light-roasted coffee contains slightly more caffeine than dark-roasted coffee.
Light-roasted coffee retains most of the natural flavors and aromas of the coffee bean, but has more oils and phenolic compounds, which are removed during further roasting. Therefore, in light-roasted coffee, caffeine remains in greater amounts.
Dark roasting is the process of roasting coffee beans, which leads to a very dark color and intense flavor. Coffee beans are roasted for a longer time and at a higher temperature than in light or medium roasting.
During dark roasting, the sugars in the coffee beans are caramelized and the acidity of the beans is almost completely removed. As a result, dark roast coffee has an intense, bitter flavor with notes of chocolate, caramel and nuts.
Dark roast coffee is popular in some regions, such as Italy, where dark roast espresso is often preferred. However, due to its intense taste and lack of subtle flavors, it is not the preferred roasting method for some coffee lovers.
Medium roasting (American, City Roast Medium, Regular Roast, City Roast, Breakfast Roast)is a coffee bean roasting process that lies between light and dark roasting. During medium roasting, the beans are roasted for about 10-15 minutes at a moderate temperature.
During this process, the sugars in the coffee beans begin to caramelize, which gives the coffee a sweet taste, and the acidity of the beans is gently reduced. The beans gain more complex aromas, including nutty, floral and fruity notes.
Medium roast coffee is the most commonly preferred coffee roast by coffee lovers, as it preserves the subtle flavors of the beans while adding some sweetness and fullness of flavor. Medium-roast coffee is also popular in many cafes and restaurants because it has a balanced flavor and aroma that is enjoyed by a wide range of consumers.
Light roasting (Cinnamon, New England, Light Roast, Light City, Half City) is a process of roasting coffee beans that leads to a light color and delicate flavor. During light roasting, the beans are subjected to a short roasting process (about 5-7 minutes) at a relatively low temperature. During this process, the sugars in the coffee beans begin to caramelize, but not as intensely as in dark roasting. Coffee from light roasting has a pronounced acidity and delicate, fruity and floral aromas. Light roast coffees are often preferred by coffee lovers who appreciate subtle, complex flavors and aromas. Such coffees are especially popular in Scandinavian countries, where light-roasted coffee is treated like a luxury product and is drunk in smaller quantities, but with better quality. However, due to its sour taste and mildness, light-roasted coffee is not liked by all coffee lovers. Light roast coffee is popular among lovers of alternative coffee preparation.
The amount of coffee you should buy from a coffee roaster depends on your personal preferences and needs.
If you drink coffee every day and like freshly roasted coffee, it's a good idea to buy enough to stock up for 2 weeks. It is recommended that you buy enough to avoid losing freshness.
One way to determine the right amount of coffee to buy is to calculate the average amount of coffee consumed per day or per week. Based on this information, you can determine how much coffee beans you need to buy from a roaster to stock up for the right amount of time.
If you are using a pressurized coffee maker with a grinder to prepare your coffee, it is a good idea to buy such a package of coffee (75g.,250g.,500g.,1,000g.) so that you can pour all the coffee into the bean container.
It is also worth considering your taste preferences and choosing the coffee that best suits your tastes. The Sochaccy.co store offers 75g coffee samples for purchase, allowing you to try different flavors and choose your favorite type.
Ultimately, the amount of coffee you should buy from the roaster depends on your individual preferences and needs, but it's worth buying enough to avoid constantly going to the store for fresh coffee.
The decision between bean and ground coffee depends on several factors.
First, bean coffee usually has a longer shelf life than ground coffee because the coffee beans retain their freshness and aroma longer. Therefore, if you want to enjoy the freshest coffee, it is best to buy coffee beans and grind them just before brewing.
Secondly, ground coffee is more convenient and faster to prepare because it does not require grinding before brewing. Therefore, if you don't have time to grind coffee before each brewing, ground coffee may be more suitable for you.
Third, ground coffee offers more control over the brewing process and allows you to adjust the grind thickness to suit your taste preferences. With ground coffee, the grind thickness has already been determined, which can affect the taste of the coffee.
In conclusion, the decision between bean and ground coffee depends on your individual preferences and needs. If you want freshness and control over the brewing process, it's better to choose bean coffee and grind it just before brewing. However, if you are looking for convenience and speed, ground coffee may be more suitable for you.
