Experience The Dominican Tradition
TRADITIONAL COFFEE
Come back to a time before coffee roasters and grinders, back to a time when Dominican traditions were passed from generation to generation demonstrating how coffee is made. The Pilon style of coffee uses a large pestle to crush the husk off of the coffee bean to begin the process. Found in the mountains of Los Cacaos traditional families continue to make coffee in this manor. In a humble home you will find the smell of fresh roasting coffee over an open fire and hear the pounding of the Pilon accompanied by the preparation of coffee as well as laughter and conversation.
FUN and INTERACTIVE
when visiting these rustic homes you can feel the history surround you, the local Dominicans will show you the hard work and time that goes into making a traditional cup of coffee. During this experience you will have the opportunity to participate in creating your own cup of fine roasted pilon coffee. Standing along side by side with the locals you will have the chance to shell, roast and grind your very own coffee.
This experience is truly original and a must for any coffee lover!
