Some tourists are frightened by such dolls, considering them to be a variation on voodoo dolls from the neighboring country of Haiti. But Dominican dolls are just a tribute to the local culture, which is a mix of peoples: aborigines, Spaniards, Africans. Lime dolls usually hold a basket or a bouquet of flowers in their hands. Basically, dolls are made of a special material - cold porcelain, but there are also less fragile specimens made of clay and corn flour. The simplest copies will cost from $3.

Coffee from the Dominican Republic - coffee that gives a delicious experience!

Santo Domingo is not only the capital of the Dominican Republic, but also a variety of excellent coffee, soft, with a light, delicate taste and a subtle floral aroma. All over the world, Santo Domingo (Santo Domingo) and Induban (Induban) coffee is valued precisely for its unique properties, and also for the fact that the drink turns out to be incredibly invigorating, refreshing, with a noble sourness. Coffee cultivation on the island of Haiti began in the 18th century. The climate in the country is more than favorable for growing coffee trees, so plantations are located everywhere: some are on the mountain slopes, where the sun “burns” the ripening beans every day, others are in the shade of nut and citrus trees, absorbing fresh ocean air. In each region of the republic, Santa Domingo coffee has its own taste, which can be explained by different growing and processing conditions. In the Dominican Republic, Santa Domingo and Induban coffee can be bought on every corner, and tourists coming here take advantage of this opportunity with great pleasure. They are attracted by the rich taste of coffee, the amazing aroma, and the thirst to taste real Dominican coffee, known far beyond the borders of their country.

This coffee can be compared with the more familiar Cuban coffee (Cubita, Serrano, Cuba, Turquino, Cubita), but more often it is compared with coffee grown in Jamaica - Jamaica Blue Mountain (Jamaica Blue Mountain) or simply JBM (Coffee Jamaica Blue Mountains) . Blue Mountain is one of the highest growing coffee varieties in the world. The largest and best portion of the coffee comes from the Walenford site, the smaller portion from Silver Hill and Estate Mountain. Wallenford is the most recognizable Blue Mountain coffee brand from Jamaica. This coffee has a perfectly balanced combination of aroma, body, astringency and sweetness, nutty flavor and moderate acidity. Jamaican coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world. Blue Mountain is practically unavailable on the international market: almost 90% of it is purchased by Japan, spending $15 million annually on this. The remainder of the harvest is almost entirely exported to the United States.

In Russia, prices for Blue Mountain can reach over $300. And of course, there is no guarantee that you will buy the Blue Mountain, especially since under the Jamaica Blue Mountains brand it is allowed to sell coffee containing 5% of the original beans!!!

In the Dominican Republic, the coffee harvest is more generous, and the geography and growing conditions, including altitude, are similar to Jamaica. By purchasing coffee in packaging from the country of origin, you are guaranteed to purchase 100% real Dominican coffee!

Santo Domingo is a Dominican coffee that is loved all over the world, but most of all it is valued by the Dominicans themselves. They can drink it day and night, adding huge amounts of sugar to the drink. This explosive combination of sweet and tart invigorates and perfectly tones. It is impossible to fall asleep after a cup of this strong drink, no matter how much you would like to! In this country, coffee is collected only by hand, dried only in the sun and prepared only using the traditional method - in the Turk. Coffee is often prepared in a geyser coffee maker. A geyser coffee maker allows you to get the most intense coffee possible. Due to completely natural processes of collection, drying, frying and cooking, the drink gets its rich taste, delicate aroma and a bright, long aftertaste with a floral tint. Many gourmets appreciate this and are ready to buy Santo Domingo coffee for its exceptional properties.

Interestingly, you can buy real Dominican coffee not only in local shops, but also in other countries or cities, for example in Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Tagil, Kamesk-Uralsky, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen, Perm, Ufa, Surgut, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Nizhnevartovsk - after all, most of the coffee produced in the republic “leaves” beyond its borders to delight millions of people with its taste and aroma, who prefer to start their morning with a cup of a strong, invigorating drink.

What rum to bring from the Dominican Republic

Rum is the most popular gift from the Dominican Republic. After all, local rum is considered one of the best in the world. There are several types of Dominican rum:

• Light - with a soft and sweetish taste. Most often used for making cocktails.
• Gold - with a noble amber-golden tint. It is consumed in its pure form, sometimes added to cocktails.
• Dark - has the richest taste, almost never consumed in its pure form. Dark rum is used in cooking and baking, in particular for impregnating rum baba.
• Flavored - with the addition of fruit juices. It tastes like tropical cocktails.
• Strong - in taste, in its pure form it resembles our vodka.
• Premium class - aged rum, consumed chilled in its pure form. Aged in oak barrels for 5 years or more.

It is not recommended to purchase rum from street vendors, even if you are offered a free tasting. Such a drink may have a pleasant taste, but you will not know the history of its production. Tourists, in reviews about which rum is best to bring from the Dominican Republic, write that it is also not worth shopping in branded stores - the prices there are too high. The best option is a regular supermarket.

How to determine the age of rum? You can find out how long the rum was aged in an oak barrel by the inscription on the label. "Anejo" - one year. "Extra Viejo" - from 3 to 5 years. "Reserva" - more than 5 years. In reviews, tourists write that the higher the aging of the rum, the lower the risk of a hangover in the morning. Rum aged up to 5 years costs about 10–15 dollars. Aged for more than 5 years - up to 40–50 dollars.

The most popular rum producers in the Dominican Republic are Brugal, Barselo and Bermudes. They are called 3 B. In order not to make a mistake with the quality, take rum no less than 10–15 dollars per 0.5 liter bottle. The best option for gift rum is Barcelo Imperial, which is aged for 12 years. In 2000, Barcelo Imperial rum was recognized as the best in the world. One bottle will cost about $35-$40. Also respected by locals and tourists: “Brugal 1888”, “Brugal Siglo de Oro”, “Bermudez 1852 Aniversario”. But the locals consider Punta Cana rum too touristy.

The rum-based alcoholic drink “Mama Juana” is offered. In addition to rum, it includes herbal preparations, honey, spices, red wine and wood from noble trees. The drink is credited with many medicinal properties. “Mama Juana” is considered by the Dominicans to be the elixir of life and a strong aphrodisiac. In addition to the ready-made drink, in the Dominican Republic you can purchase a dry set for preparing “Mama Juana”.

How much rum can you bring from the Dominican Republic? You can import no more than 2 liters of strong alcoholic drinks into Russia. Alcohol from Duty Free and goods in luggage are added up - of course, not all tourists are checked upon arrival, but alcohol can be legally confiscated if the limit is exceeded.

King of Dominican Coffee

The Santa Domingo variety is the best coffee in the Dominican Republic, and some experts call it the best highland variety in the world. It was named after the capital of the country, although it is grown in a different region.

Santa Domingo beans are sold under various coffee brands. This happens because the variety is grown on many plantations and enters the world market under different names.

The uniqueness of the variety is given by the growing conditions of coffee trees. They are surrounded by plantings of local vegetation with a high content of essential oils. Therefore, the grains of this variety have an unusual aroma of tea rose and herbs. In the aftertaste, tartness and citrus sourness are clearly visible. The taste is quite mild, even traditional coffee bitterness is almost not felt.

Cafe Tinto

It is no coincidence that coffee has the same name as a type of wine. In the taste of the finished drink, berry notes and a fruity-grape aroma are clearly distinguishable. The coffee is expressive, strong and thick.

The beans for this coffee are also called Santo Domingo, but are grown at a lower altitude. Therefore, the finished drink does not have such a dense and bright taste as its high-mountain counterparts. It has a nice sweetness, a chocolate base and a subtle dark fruit flavor to finish the cup.

Blasercafe Оcoa Santo Domingo

Under this name, expressive coffee is sold, with a sharp taste, chocolate and pepper notes, and almost devoid of sourness. The drink is very aromatic, dense, rich. Deeply roasted beans retain a high dose of caffeine, so a cup of this coffee is an excellent way to invigorate the morning.
