Haiti Coffee Respè Medium Roast Blend
Respè combines Haitian coffee with a Mexican component from the foothills of Sierra de San Juan. The medium-roasted blend is described through dark-chocolate flavor and a gently sweet, lemon-like finish. Its name means respect in Haitian Creole.

A blend connecting two origins
Haiti Coffee presents Respè as a tribute to the relationship between Haiti and Mexico. The coffee itself brings together beans from smaller farming communities in the two countries, giving the blend a more specific identity than a general regional label.
Exploring the chocolate and citrus balance
For a first filter brew, try 20 grams of coffee with 320 grams of water, then adjust to suit your brewer. Taste a few sips as the coffee cools and notice whether chocolate or lemon is more prominent. If the citrus feels too sharp, a small increase in extraction is worth testing before adding sweetener.
A cold-brew preparation offers another way to compare the same coffee. Use a grind intended for immersion, keep the steeping recipe consistent, and adjust the final dilution separately from the brewing process.

More preparation and product questions
Where does this coffee come from?
Haiti and Mexico.
What roast profile is listed?
Haiti Coffee.
What cup or flavor profile is described?
Dark chocolate with a sweet lemon finish.
How do I adjust strength without losing balance?
Change the coffee-to-water ratio when the flavor is balanced but the cup is too weak or concentrated. Use grind adjustments when the problem is extraction, keeping dose and water quantity constant for comparison.
Should I judge the coffee only while piping hot?
Taste again as the cup cools toward a comfortable drinking temperature. Sweetness, acidity, body and finish may become easier to distinguish before you decide how to adjust the next brew.
How should I store the coffee?
Keep it sealed away from heat, light and moisture. Grind whole beans shortly before brewing; keep ground coffee tightly closed between uses to limit exposure to air.
