Introduction to the pure, fragrant and grainy Puerto Rican coffee producing area, Larez Yaokeka in the south-central part of the country.

In 1736, the first coffee tree was introduced to Puerto Rico from Martinique. Since then, Puerto Rico has become the base for producing the highest quality coffee in the world. The unique taste chosen by Yaocote has also become the object of admiration of coffee experts all over the world. Most of the earliest coffee trees were planted by immigrants from Corsica. About 160 years later, the coffee industry in Puerto Rico has an extremely optimistic outlook, ranking sixth in the world in terms of total exports, and most of their coffee is shipped to Europe, including France, Italy and Spain. Coffee farms in Puerto Rico flourished until the 19th century, but unfortunately, the rise of sugarcane and drug farming and the effects of hurricanes and wars lagged Puerto Rico's coffee industry.

Today, Puerto Rican coffee is exported to all parts of the world. As the coffee in this country is generally carefully cultivated, it is pure, fragrant and granular, among which the best is among the world's famous brands. The best coffee is Yaocote (Yauco Selecto), which means "Selecto". Grand Lares Yauco is produced in the southwest of the island, while Lars coffee is produced in the south-central part of the island.

Yaocote's coffee, grown on three farms in the southwest of the island, is fragrant and has a long aftertaste. This kind of coffee is very expensive and its flavor is comparable to that of any other coffee variety in the world. In the Yaoke area, the coffee is owned and operated by the local planter. The mountain climate here is mild, the plants have a long mature period (from October to February), and the soil is of high quality clay. Some old varieties of Arabica coffee beans are grown here, although the yield is lower than other varieties, but generally of high quality. People here have been using an ecological and intensive planting method, using only some low-toxic fertilizers and chemicals, and taking mixed crop planting measures to make the soil more fertile. When it comes time to pick coffee beans, people walk back and forth between coffee trees, picking only fully ripe coffee beans, and then wash them in a roller device for 48 hours.

Yaocote chose coffee beans to be preserved in shells before they were shipped, and the skins were not removed until the order was shipped to ensure the best freshness of the coffee. Relevant U.S. government staff, such as FDA and USEA, will also be present when the goods are submitted, and they work to monitor producers' compliance with federal regulations. There are also staff from the local evaluation board, who take 1 bag out of every 50 bags as samples and use international gauges to evaluate their quality.

Jaime Fortu Fortuno, president of the acting bank Escogido Yauco in Escoki, pays silent attention to all this work, even the smallest details, every year. Fortuno is an investment banker who graduated from Harvard Business School. He was determined to seize every opportunity to open up a top coffee market 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. Yaocote selected is a fascinating coffee, it has a complete flavor, no bitterness, rich nutrition, rich fruit, and is worth tasting. Even Thales (Taylors) in Harrogate, England, once imported 50 bags of Yaoke specialty coffee.
