While the sun rises, the sound of the pestling of coffee announces the start of the daily tasks, the arduous day that starts after the first sip of the black nectar.<\/p>\n<p>The mountain people are fortunate to drink a beverage of the greatest purity. Here, as they say, \u201ccoffee goes directly from the plant to the cup.\u201d \u00a0However, it is not that simple. The popular infusion is the product of a long process that includes its collection, drying, roasting and grinding, a culture inherited from the French settlers and their slaves who emigrated after the Haitian revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The tradition was depressed for several years. The low prices that the State paid to the coffee growers put it at risk. \u201cBut it\u2019s no longer like that,\u201d farmer Humberto D\u00edaz comments satisfied. \u201cNow for every can of prime quality beans we get paid 160 Cuban pesos (equivalent to 6.50 CUC). Even the people who had left the Sierra have returned to grow coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the last harvest some private producers were able to sell more than 2,000 cans of the bean, a very significant amount that multiplied their families\u2019 incomes. Thanks to this coffee growing is flourishing again in the mountains and, with it, ways of life and customs that had almost been lost.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_89436\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89436\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/MOLIENDO0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89436\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/MOLIENDO0.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Carlos Y.

But Yolanda, whose job is to roast the coffee beans to order, affirms that there are few families that continue doing this. \u201cNow there\u2019s more coffee in the Sierra and the people prefer drinking it pure again,\u201d she says with a sense of ownership.<\/p>\n<p>The mountain people from Yao like natural coffee and at times preferably accompanied by homemade farmer cheese. This is one of the customs that have become rooted in recent times, and it has to do with the incipient recovery of another important economic sector: cattle raising.<\/p>\n<p>Little by little, the habit of drinking coffee has been changing. The influence of TV series and foreign films, and the experience of some mountain people abroad, has helped to widen the scope.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some people who have started drinking it with chocolate, with cream or even homemade latte\u2026and some of our families get together in the evenings to have a cup of coffee and talk about our day.\u201d This is said by Mirta Figueredo, a dentistry technician who worked in Venezuela on a mission. Her home has become the meeting place for relatives and neighbors to have the 4 p.m. \u201csmall cup of coffee with cinnamon,\u201d a sort of Cuban cappuccino that also includes powdered milk.<\/p>\n<p>This mixture of tradition and modernity, of purity and innovation, today makes enjoying a cup of coffee stand out in that zone. However, if anyone from San Pablo de Yao is asked who makes the best coffee in those places, they will undoubtedly say: \u201cNo one can beat Olga at that, <em>compay<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Olga L\u00f3pez G\u00f3mez is a farmer who says she practically grew up under the coffee plants.\u201d When I ask her about her secret she confesses in a whisper that the key is the roasting.<\/p>\n<p>She continues doing this task in a pot over a flame fueled by dry wood and vigorously moving the beans with a wooden \u201cmecedor\u201d, exactly as she learned from her mother. With a timid but proud smile she asks herself \u201cwhy so many people come to my house to have coffee when the only thing I do is make it as I was taught.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the mountain people say the best coffee is the one roasted without sugar and then pulverized in the mortar. Others, on the other hand, are of the opinion that the method doesn\u2019t matter as much as the quality of the bean.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_89435\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-89435\" style=\"width: 755px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LORENZA0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89435\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/LORENZA0.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Carlos Y.

It doesn\u2019t matter if you grind it in the machine or using the pestle and mortar, if it is roasted with sugar or without it,\u201d says Conrado Tasset, a famer who lives \u201calmost at the top of the Maestra.\u201d For him, \u201clife is not the same without coffee, for me that morning sip is the main moment of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Conrado, who is close to 80 years old, has been growing coffee all his life. That\u2019s why he remembers with nostalgia that time \u201cin which more than a million cans were brought down from the hills of Buey Arriba, in the 1960s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To again have those results, he recognizes, there\u2019s still a long way to go. The excess of volunteer work and the bad agrarian policies which held sway for years in coffee growing led hundreds of families to emigrate from the Sierra Maestra. And although with the increase in prices the panorama today is more promising, many producers are waiting for other decisions that will boost even more this rebirth. For example that they be able to freely sell and even export their harvest without the State being the only mediator.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the people of San Pablo de Yao, from the entire Sierra, continue clinging to their coffee; to its growing and processing; to drinking it in a mug or a steaming hot cup; alone or with cheese, milk or chocolate. At daybreak, after lunch or when the sun begins to set. But what\u2019s most important: pure, very pure, like the sense of their tradition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> The popular name given to the coffee sold by the State to Cuban families at subsidized prices as part of the monthly rationed basic food basket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDawn coffee, bitter, just made, that the rooster\u2019s faraway crowing brings to us in bed\u201d.
