You are likely aware that Cuban products cannot be sent to your country because your administration considers Cuba to be an "enemy." (How they can justify having the "preferential trading status" for China, another communist country with far worse human rights abuses, is an open question.)
Do note that coffee sold in the United States, which is labelled "Cuban," is not grown in Cuba. Most of it is grown in Mexico, in an attempt to imitate the unique flavour of the real thing. It is not the same. Cuba is a volcanic island, with dark red soils, and a unique climate (due to its size). The only country in the world that does not get to taste the totally organic produce of Cuba is "free" America.
If you care to visit Canada then you are permitted to take some Cuban coffee back with you, as long as it is for "personal use." You won't find Cuban coffee sold in most venues, even in Canada, because most of our coffee comes through American corporations, who have to follow the U.S. embargo. So if you do visit Canada (we hope you do!), do arrange to have a few pounds of our coffee sent to your destination.
