I know some of my favorite cigars have come from the DR, but that
doesn't really have anything to do with anything does it :-)

Funny you should mention that.  Our local newspaper had an article about =
Domincan Republic coffee in last Sunday's business section because =
someone from a local roaster (Columbia Street Roastery) went on a trip =
to the DR and cupped some coffee.  The DR is trying to build a specialty =
coffee reputation;  the article didn't go into details about how they're =
doing that.
The article claimed that most or all DR coffee is extremely bright, =
almost to the point of being one-dimensional.  Some Japanese and =
European cuppers have rated some of their coffees very highly, though.
