Dominican Bani

Smooth and very clean with a wonderful aroma and pronounced chocolate tones. Naturally low in caffeine. City Style Roast

Dominican coffee, along with its Caribbean counterparts, is described by coffee connoisseurs as “full-bodied with moderate acidity and uncomplicated flavors”.

Bani is a city in the coffee producing region of Sierra Sur in Dominican Republic. Bani has been a trade name for coffee from the City of Bani. There are various micro-climates in Dominican Republic that produce beans with distinct physical and taste characteristics. The government of Dominican Republic established seven official coffee-growing regions: Barahona, Cibao, Neyba, Noroeste, Sierra Central, Sierra Occidental, and Sierra Sur.

Coffee farms in the Dominican Republican are mostly small—less than eight acres—and are spread throughout the country’s seven growing regions. Dominican specialty coffee is almost exclusively organically grown. An increasing number of farms have received organic certification by international organizations. The majority of it is also shade-grown, often under a canopy of native pine, macadamia and guava trees.

Depending on the altitude, the harvest usually begins in October or November and runs through June. Typically, coffee is picked by hand, just a little bit at a time, through the long growing season. Then the coffees for the specialty market are most commonly wet processed within a day of being picked and patio-dried.

The range of high altitudes allows numerous series of flowerings, which means that coffee is produced nearly 12 months of the year.

Specialty coffee is grown in terraced slopes along the mountains, with the best beans grown at 3,500 feet and above.

Testimonials

"My reoccurring ache for a coffee will never change. What is changing is my awareness of, and appreciation for, the nuances of finer roasts and brews. In the few short months since I have known our friend Happy Goat, I have developed a whole new respect for the bean. As a result, my coffee break has now turned into my coffee worship. Babae's Blend forever!

"From my student days and throughout my career, coffee-drinking has been a regular component of my day. However, until I hooked up recently with the Happy Goat, I had no idea how good a cup of coffee could taste - rich, full-bodied, so satisfying. No if, ands or butts about it! All those wasted years........ "

“I thought I knew what I liked when it came to coffee. That is, until I tasted my first sip of coffee from the Happy Goat! Every cup has been a discovery – and there’s been no looking back. Happy Goat Coffee is now the only coffee I brew at home.”

Pat Aubin
"I'd never heard of "Siphon Filtering" before the Happy Goat, but let me tell you I tasted the difference! Smooth, rich, full-bodied! Perfect!"

"Best coffee I have every had, and I come from a long line of hard core coffee drinkers. Pierre created a unique blend for me of half decaf half dark beans roasted together. Something I could never get off the shelf or from other roasters. The aroma, freshness, and taste have me hooked. Happy Goat has made me one happy coffee drinker!"

Nancy Huggett

Mom, Advocate, Writer, and Coffee Drinker, but not always in that order
"I was in deed a "Happy Goat"ee after my first cup of your ethiopian dark roast coffee. My partner took the beans in to a popular coffee establishment starting with "S" to have it ground and when they put it into there grinder the aroma made them exclaim - Now that's coffee!

I look forward to many happy cups of Pierre's special blends in the future. "

"Pierre Richard's coffee made me feel like I had died and gone to heaven ... but of course I did not die when I drank "Pierre's coffee - and that in itself is a good thing. However, it will be the rich, full bodiedness of a medium style roast, or the deliciously powerful nutty aroma of a dark roast from Happy Goat Coffee which I will savour until my dying days!"

Alan Shain

"Pierre's coffee is by far the best I have ever had, I assume due to his skill at bean selection and roasting, and as well getting the beans roasted day of pick up.

You know you have the right house by smelling the fresh roasted beans half a block away, and seeing beans on the stairway!"
