The lot comes from the coffee-producing areas of Barahona and Pedernales, with the municipality identified as Pedernales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a farm-specific microlot, this coffee represents the traditional character of its wider growing region. It is cultivated under the shade of Guama and Amapola trees and harvested between November and March. Its approachable sweetness, rounded body, and restrained acidity make it particularly well suited to a balanced medium roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"direction: ltr;\"\u003eThe Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot combines three Arabica varieties: \u003cstrong\u003eTypica, Caturra, and Catimor\u003c\/strong\u003e. Typica is one of coffee’s oldest and most influential varieties, valued for its clean structure, balanced sweetness, and refined acidity. Caturra can contribute additional brightness and sweetness, while Catimor was developed for greater resilience under challenging growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the three varieties create a classic and accessible cup rather than an intensely exotic one: chocolate-led and creamy, with enough gentle fruit and acidity to keep the coffee lively and balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"direction: ltr;\"\u003eProcessing Method\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee undergoes a traditional \u003cstrong\u003ewashed process\u003c\/strong\u003e with a stated fermentation period of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e16 hours\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This lot is grown between approximately \u003cstrong\u003e900 and 1,200 metres above sea level\u003c\/strong\u003e on mountain slopes with an inclination of around 12–20%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier describes the soil as clay loam belonging to the inceptisol order. Shade from Guama and Amapola trees protects the coffee plants from excessive direct sunlight and contributes to the traditional shaded agricultural landscape of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarahona is one of the Dominican Republic’s best-known coffee origins. Its coffees are generally appreciated for their generous body, chocolate and nut character, gentle fruit, and balanced Caribbean profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"direction: ltr;\"\u003eWhy We Love This Coffee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot every single-origin coffee needs to be extremely floral, fermented, or intensely acidic. This Barahona is about harmony: comforting chocolate and caramel sweetness, a creamy mouthfeel, and just enough gentle fruit to keep the cup clean and lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur medium roast brings forward milk chocolate, caramel, and toasted almond while preserving a soft red-apple-like brightness. The result is smooth without becoming flat, sweet without tasting heavy, and particularly enjoyable as espresso, in an automatic machine, with milk, or as a rich everyday filter coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Hebrew Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"direction: rtl; text-align: right; margin-top: 40px; padding-top: 20px; border-top: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eעוד על הקפה\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eמקור:\u003c\/strong\u003e הרפובליקה הדומיניקנית\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eאזור:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSierra de Bahoruco, Barahona \u0026amp; Pedernales\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eגובה:\u003c\/strong\u003e כ־900–1,200 מטרים מעל פני הים\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eזנים:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTypica, Caturra, Catimor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eעיבוד:\u003c\/strong\u003e שטוף\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eתסיסה:\u003c\/strong\u003e כ־16 שעות\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eייבוש:\u003c\/strong\u003e ייבוש בשמש\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eגידול:\u003c\/strong\u003e תחת צל של עצי \u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGuama\u003c\/span\u003e ו־\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAmapola\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eתקופת קטיף:\u003c\/strong\u003e נובמבר–מרץ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eפרופיל טעמים:\u003c\/strong\u003e שוקולד חלב, קרמל, שקד קלוי, תפוח אדום וסיומת קרמית\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eחומציות:\u003c\/strong\u003e נמוכה–בינונית, עגולה ועדינה\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"פיאוני קפה","offers":[{"title":"250 grams \/ Medium","offer_id":54215689077009,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/2108\/4689\/files\/Dominican-Republic-e1782893922971.png?v=1787071701","url":"https:\/\/peony.coffee\/ar\/products\/dominican-republic-barahona-washed","provider":"פיאוני קפה","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
