Puerto Rico's new farm coffee is a mild, supple and well-balanced island bean with a charming single malt flavor, extremely sweet when sipped in a cup, and medium-roasted creamy and greasy texture that is often suitable for Puerto Rico island beans.

The whole history of coffee in the Caribbean has a lot to do with Spanish reclamation. Coffee was not that important in the 18th century. The main job was to grow sugar-producing crops in fertile valleys. In the early 19th century (1800), the residents of Corsica in the French Mediterranean moved to Puerto Rico because the valleys had been occupied by Spanish immigrants. So they chose to settle in the southwest mountain area of the island, mostly near the city of Yuko. because of their efforts and determination, coffee cultivation brought them a good return. They dominated the coffee industry on the island in the 1860s. At that time, Puerto Rico's coffee bean production ranked sixth in the world, and the coffee trees planted by Corsican immigrants on the highlands were regarded as selected. The origin of Yauco Selecto coffee beans is mainly traced back to this period, but two severe hurricanes hit Puerto Rico in 1898. These two hurricanes destroyed the local coffee industry, and farmers had to wait two years to get the crops back to normal. During this period, the United States was very interested in Puerto Rico's sugar production, and European countries no longer imposed tariffs on Puerto Rico coffee beans as crops produced in their colonies. Dealt a heavy blow to Puerto Rican coffee.

The Caribbean Sea is a warm, romantic and mysterious sea, and a lot of good coffee is also around this ring sea, such as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, Dominica, Crystal Mountain of Cuba, Yuko of Puerto Rico, and so on. These are the most famous rare and expensive coffee in the world. These island beans make people have a light milky aroma and elegant floral aroma, acidity and meticulous softness. Although it is still difficult to avoid the problem of easy water loss of coffee caused by the muggy climate on the island, the overall texture is the first-grade beans of coffee, and the main reason why Puerto Rican coffee is not easy to buy on the market is that the output is low and most of it is exported to Europe. coupled with the adverse effects of severe weather hurricanes on coffee crops, there will be no coffee to buy that year.

Puerto Rico's coffee beans are carefully planted, pure, fragrant and heavy, of which the best coffee is Yauco Selecto, which means "Selecto". Yaocote Coffee is grown only on three farms in the southwest of the island, San Pedro, Caracolillo and La Juanita. It is a truly high-quality coffee with a strong flavor and a long aftertaste. The hills of southwestern Puerto Rico have a mild climate, a long period of plant maturity (from October to February) and high-quality clay. People here have been using an eco-friendly, intensive planting method, picking only fully ripe coffee beans and then flushing them in a drum device for 48 hours. Yaocote selected coffee beans are preserved with sheepskin before sale and will not be removed until order and delivery to ensure the best freshness of the coffee. Relevant U.S. government employees, such as FDA and USEA, will also be present at the transaction, and they are here to monitor producers' compliance with federal regulations. There are also professional reviewers who randomly take one bag of coffee from every 50 bags as samples and use international gauges to identify the quality of coffee beans, all in order to ensure the quality of the real Yaocote selected coffee.

And Jaime Fortuno, the president of Escoki's Escogido Yauco agency, pays silent attention to all this work every year, even the smallest details. Fortuno is an investment banker who graduated from Harvard Business School. He was determined to seize every opportunity to open up a market for top coffee in Puerto Rico. He expects a maximum annual output of 3000 bags of 45kg each, less than 1 per cent of the island's total coffee production.

This is the reason why Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico Yukot select Yauco Selecto differently. Yukot chooses manor beans, which is the joint brand of Puerto Rico San Pedro, Caracolillo and La Juanita.
