Coffee has been here for a long time
The twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago is located in the southern Caribbean just off the coast of South America. The islands are positioned to benefit from the unique microclimates created by the influence of the South American continent and the prevailing Caribbean trade winds.
Vegetation here is lush and bountiful. So, when Coffee plants were introduced into Trinidad by early European colonists in the late 1700s the plantations flourished. The synergy of the tropical island climate in combination with the rich clay soils benefitted the coffee produced with rich and complex flavours.
Driven by the increased demand for this exotic coffee, further expansion in coffee plantations was fueled during the late 1800s. With the growth in the local industry several desirable coffee varieties were introduced to the islands and incorporated into the blends.

Today, those blends of coffee varieties can be found in different locations in the country, and have given rise to an extremely robust, full body and complex profile that include flavours with hints of cocoa/chocolate, spices and nuts, combined with floral and fruity notes.
No other coffee produced elsewhere in the world, has the superior taste of Trinidad coffee!
