In the mid-1700s coffee growing was introduced to Cuba and by 1790 significant amounts of coffee were being exported to Spain. Cuba's coffee industry grew, even more, when French coffee farmers who had fled the Haitian revolution began farming in Cuba. Cuban coffee production continued to languish during the 1960s and 1970s and then surged in the late 1970s and into the 1980s. Cuban coffees have a mixed reputation and are highly priced, they are generally heavy-bodied, with low acidity, balanced sweetness, and earthy tobacco notes
