    Want to learn about Cuban Coffee? 🇨🇺☕ I just released a comprehensive course breaking down the history of coffee on Cuba, where it’s cultivated, the four variations, and how you can make each variation yourself. 🧠 Expand your knowledge of the culture of Cuba by enrolling here: www.udemy.com/course/cubancoffee/?referralCode=961B166FD359ED5A3E53

    Out of interest, may I ask how did you get to Cuba as an American citizen?? I presume you visited via Canada 🇨🇦, The Bahamas 🇧🇸 or Mexico 🇲🇽??? Many thanks.
