Oh, and the coffee? ¡Ay!, ¿y el café?

One of the most exquisite things created by God: coffee.

At this time my country (Cuba) is experiencing a severe economic crisis due, in part, to the economic embargo imposed by the United States, the poor administration of the Cuban Government and unscrupulous members of society who have known how to take advantage of the unfortunate situation. . For this reason, all spheres of society have been affected, especially food, which is why coffee, which is one of the essential products for Cubans, is in danger of extinction.

En estos momentos mi país (Cuba) se está viviendo una severa crisis económica debido, en parte, al embargo económico impuesto por Estados Unidos, a la mala administración del Gobierno Cubano y miembros inescrupulosos de la sociedad que han sabido sacar ventaja de la lamentable situación. Por ello se han afectado todas las esferas de la sociedad especialmente la alimentación, por lo que el café, quien constituye uno de los productos indispensables para los cubanos, esté en peligro de extinción.

Coffee Guantanamera, I tried it recently and had never seen it in the country.

Every month in the family basket they gave those of us over 7 years old a package of nationally produced "Hello" coffee with 50% coffee and 50% peas; but due to the growing financial crisis 3 months ago they did not give us this product. There is also a shortage of coffee on the black market and in stores and they are at an extremely high price compared to the salary of most Cubans.

Todos los meses en la canasta familiar nos daban a los mayores de 7 años un paquete de café "Hola" de producción nacional con 50% de café y 50% de chícharos; pero debido a la creciente crisis financiera hace 3 meses no nos dan dicho producto. En el mercado negro y en las tiendas también hay escasez de café y están a un precio sumamente elevado en comparación con el salario de la mayoría de los cubanos.

Mixture I made from Guantanamera coffee, Cubita coffee and Hola.

Gracias a la mamá y a la abuela de mi novia (@dianegr) que me regalan no me he mantenido tomando café regularmente y mi tía que también comparte conmigo. A veces cuando me regalan café de la tienda tengo que mezclarlo con el "Hola" (cuando aparece en el mercado informal) para que tenga un sabor más fuerte porque los de la tienda saben ligero.

Este es el café Hola que dan en la canasta de abastecimiento y el más consumido en el país. Image from Todo Cuba Online [Imagen de Todo Cuba Online]

The absence of this desired product has increased the stress to which my people are subjected since the consumption of this drink for generations has been a habit and for some even a vice. I hope this problem is resolved soon. Thank you for reading!

La ausencia de este anhelado producto ha incrementado el estrés al que está sometido mi pueblo ya que el consumo de esta bebida por generaciones ha sido una costumbre y para algunos hasta un vicio. Ojalá esta problemática se resualva pronto.¡Gracia por leer!

Thanks to my girlfriend's mother and grandmother (@dianegr) who gave me gifts, I have not supported myself by drinking coffee regularly and my aunt who also shares with me. Sometimes when they give me coffee from the store I have to mix it with "Hello" (when it appears in the informal market) so that it has a stronger flavor because the ones from the store taste light.

Hello there!

Which is why coffee, which is one of the essential products for Cubans, is in danger of extinction.

That's so sad, compared to it's neighbouring regions where coffee is one of the major industries.

I do hope that you'll be able to enjoy coffee for as long as possible, before the inevitable price increase due to import cost.

Please make note of the presentation requirement for your future post.
