Cuban Turquino Lavado
Arabica coffee was originally introduced to Cuba in 1748 from Martinique by Jose Antonio Gelabert, but it was the large influx of French colonial planters from Haiti in 1792 (following the slave revolt in Haiti) which transformed Cuba into a significant Caribbean producer of coffee.
These French emigres settled in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra Mountains of Eastern Cuba where they created large plantations.
