Introduced from Martinique to the south-central part of the coffee country of Puerto Rico, Greater Larez Yaoke.

The coffee in this country is generally carefully grown, pure in taste, aromatic and heavy in particles, among which the best coffee is among the world famous brands. The best coffee is Yauco Selecto, which means "select." Grand Lares Yauco is grown in the south-west of the island and Lares coffee in the south-central part. Gourmet Coffee from Puerto Rico Grown only on three farms in the southwestern part of the island, Yocote Select Coffee has a strong aroma and a long aftertaste. This coffee sells at a high price and its aroma rivals that of any other coffee variety in the world. In the Yauco region, the coffee is owned and operated by local planters. The mountain climate here is mild, the plants have a long maturity period (from October to February of the following year), and the soil is of high quality clay.

Some older varieties of Arabica coffee are grown here, although their yields are lower than those of other varieties, but they are generally of high quality. The people here have been adopting an ecologically conservative, intensive farming method, using only low-toxicity fertilizers and chemicals, and adopting mixed crop cultivation measures to make the soil more fertile. When it was time to pick the beans, people walked back and forth between the trees, picking only the fully ripe beans, and then washing them in a roller for 48 hours. Yocote Select beans are kept in their shells until they are shipped, and the skins are not removed until the order is shipped to ensure optimum freshness. U.S. government officials, such as the FDA and USEA, are also present at the time of shipment submission and work to monitor compliance with federal regulations. There are also staff from local evaluation committees who take samples of one bag out of every 50 bags and qualify them using international gauges.

Every year Jaime Fortuńo, president of Escogido Yauco agency, silently pays attention to all this work, even the smallest details. Fortuno is an investment banker who graduated from Harvard Business School. He was determined to seize every opportunity to carve out a market for premium Puerto Rico coffee. He expects a maximum yield of 3000 bags of 45 kilograms each per year, less than 1 percent of the island's total coffee production. Yocote Choice is a mesmerizing coffee that is full of flavor, bitter, nutritious, fruity and worth tasting. Even Taylors in Harrogate, England, imported 50 bags of Yocote Choice coffee
