{"product_id":"cuba-caracolillo-green-coffee","title":"Cuba Caracolillo","description":"\u003cp\u003eCuba Caracolillo green coffee is a washed-process peaberry lot from the Escambray mountains of central Cuba, sold in 20 kg bulk. Caracolillo is the Spanish term for peaberry: a coffee cherry that produces a single round bean instead of the usual two. The mutation accounts for less than 2% of Cuba's total coffee production. That scarcity makes this lot a genuine specialty offer for cafés and roasters anchoring a Cuban-coffee program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCupping Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peaberry format roasts evenly and develops a denser cup body than equivalent flat-bean lots. That makes it well-suited to single-origin espresso programs. The dark chocolate carries through cleanly, giving roasters a cup story to build a Cuban-coffee menu around. Expect intense aromas, a smooth texture, and dark chocolate as the dominant note. These are pre-roast indications of cup potential, not finished-cup descriptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProcessing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot is fully washed. Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness across the Escambray's mid-altitude slopes, then depulped and fermented before drying. The coffee grows under shade canopy in humus-rich soil without synthetic fertilizers\u003cspan\u003e – \u003c\/span\u003epractices the trade values even where formal organic certification is absent. The Escambray's mica- and quartz-rich soils, moderate climate, and steady Atlantic trade winds shape the microclimate that gives this lot its character. Hand-harvesting and shade cultivation are part of Cuba's traditional coffee production model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEscambray mountain range, central Cuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCoffea arabica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTypica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBean type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePeaberry (Caracolillo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWashed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e750 metres above sea level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% pure single-origin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20 kg bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Kosher\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","offers":[{"title":"20 kg","offer_id":43358925783091,"sku":"CTERV001CU01VTG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/2363\/3971\/files\/Cuba-green-coffee-15kg_55d71c8e-56ff-4f50-ae01-e8c1c4298a75.jpg?v=1751988222","url":"https:\/\/wholesale.cafeterra.ca\/products\/cuba-caracolillo-green-coffee","provider":"Terra Coffee \u0026 Tea Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
