Kolen is more of an area than a town in rural Haiti. It's situated in the High South East Department of Haiti near the Dominican border. Farmers in this area have been growing coffee for centuries; it's not just a tradition; this small farmer owned association, APPCC, is the livelihood for200+families that comprise the cooperative.
This washed, Arabica coffee excels at Espresso application (French press & drip brew too). Robust, rich, unparalleled. Try a blend of 70% Haitian & add other origins depending on your desired outcome.
