Café Vega uses only specially hand selected, superior
varieties of Robusta coffee grown in Trinidad and Tobago.
No chemicals were used in the production of the coffee
which comes from old, shaded plantations in the countryside.
The initial processing of the coffee beans utilizes the
age old traditions harnessing natural sunlight. However, the roasting applies science,
technology and artisanal approaches that build on the techniques used by my
grandparents.
Evaluation of many of the local varieties of coffee that have been grown here since the 1800's have led to the selection of a few really impressive cultivars that produce excellent coffee.
In 2013, a limited production of Café Vega roasted, ground coffee was initiated with beans sourced from established estates in the east and south of Trinidad. Currently medium, dark and premium roasts are available.
