Haiti, located in the Caribbean, just Southeast of Cuba and neighboring the Dominican Republic, is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Because of Haiti's export industry and other various sociopolitical reasons, the last 10 generations of coffee farmers have been losing their skills of producing high quality coffee. Every year the production quantity of coffee fell, as well as the wages, in a continual cycle. Enter U.S. A.I.D. (U.S. Agency for International Development) funding to assist selected coffee farmers to begin a project to revitalize their industry. A non-government organization named I.I.C.A. (Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture) from Central America was appointed to administer the program, and they in turn hired industry experts in agriculture and marketing for direction in plan development and execution. The focus throughout all of the stages of planning was to grow the highest quality coffee ever produced in Haiti. They succeeded, and named it Haitian Bleuª. The "blue bean" of Haiti is perfectly balanced, with rich flavor, snappy acidity, and wonderful mellow body. This coffee rates as one of the world's best.
