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 is a small country with the highest standard of living among Latin American countries, with a stable political and economic environment, a high level of education and relatively high wages for workers. It is such a beautiful and quiet country that has come out of Puerto Rico Coffee, which has attracted much attention in the coffee world. Among them, the selection of Yocott of Puerto Rico is the most well received! Yocott was selected as the third largest coffee in the world by international coffee tasters, second only to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica and Kona of Hawaii!

The whole history of coffee in the Caribbean has a lot to do with Spanish reclamation. Coffee was not so important in the 18th century. The main work 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.

Puerto Rico has been in the news lately because its government, which has been saddled with $70 billion in debt for years, officially defaulted in August. Its embarrassing situation originated from the Spanish-American War in 1898, when Spain surrendered Puerto Rico to the United States, making it a commonwealth of the United States in the Caribbean. Unlike the 50 local states, some federal benefits are not available to it, but rules and regulations must be observed. Puerto Rico has had four referendums, the last in 2012, when 61% of its citizens approved it as the 51st state in the United States, but waiting for Congress to pass is a long way off. The state government is so unable to be protected by the bankruptcy law after default that it is jokingly called the Greece of the United States because their financial situation is similar to their political relations with the United States and the European Union.

Yaoke and Jamaica in Puerto Rico are both Greater Antilles, located in the Atlantic Ocean of Central America, and are well-known island bean-rich countries. Puerto Rican coffee has a history of more than two hundred years. Coffee was grown in 1736. At first, coffee was not the main cash crop, but mainly sugar crops. Because of the unrest in Europe, the residents of Corsica Island in the French Mediterranean moved to Puerto Rico around 1800. At that time, the valley had already been occupied by Spanish immigrants, so they chose to settle in the southwest mountains of the island, located near the city of Yaoke. In order to survive, they began to grow different crops. Coffee cultivation brought them a good income, and the coffee industry became the main local export cash crop in 1860. Yaoke is also a well-known coffee in Taiwan in the early days, but in recent years it has been quite rare because it has changed from domestic sales to orientation.
