Introduction to Puerto Rico Coffee producing area

Puerto Rico's coffee beans are carefully grown, pure, aromatic, and granular. The best coffee is Yauco Selecto, which means "selected." Grown only on three farms in the south-west of the island, San Pedro, Caracolillo and La Juanita, Yocote Coffee has a strong aroma and a long aftertaste, making it a true premium coffee. The hilly areas southwest of Puerto Rico have mild climates, long maturity periods (October to February), and good clay soils. The people here have been using an eco-friendly, intensive cultivation method, picking only fully ripe beans and then rinsing them in a roller device for 48 hours. Yocote Select coffee beans are kept in sheepskin shells until they are marketed and removed when ordered to ensure optimum freshness. U.S. government officials, such as the FDA and USEA, are present at the time of the transaction to monitor compliance with federal regulations. There are also professional reviewers who randomly sample one bag from every 50 bags of coffee and use international gauges to evaluate the quality of the coffee beans, all to ensure that the real Yocote Coffee is a good deal.

Island Coffee-Puerto Rico

And Jaime Fortuno, president of Escogido Yauco agency, quietly watches all this work every year, even in the tiniest detail. Fortuno is an investment banker who graduated from Harvard Business School. He was determined to seize every opportunity to open up a market for premium coffee in Puerto Rico. He expects a maximum annual production of 3000 bags of 45 kilos each, less than 1% of the island's total coffee-in fact, any coffee will be given a unique flavor depending on where it comes from, just as different music styles will always give you different feelings. Puerto Rico's Yaoco coffee has the characteristics of fine coffee, it is very stable acidity, full particles, full flavor, aroma. The reason why Yaokot chose coffee beans better than other producing areas on the island is that it is planted in the mountainous areas at high altitude, so it grows slowly and has rich fruit flavor; and it uses ancient coffee trees, although the yield is less, but the flavor is unique, which is unmatched by some new trees. Thanks to the abundant rainfall, rich soil and high altitude microclimate zone, Yaoko coffee has all the qualities that a gourmet coffee should have. Of course, Yao Ke coffee cannot be separated from the hard work of those coffee workers, from planting coffee seedlings to post-harvest processing are managed by them.

Each coffee has its own unique flavor. When you taste Yaoko coffee, you will feel the unique acidic taste of Central American coffee, which is the most characteristic taste of Caribbean island coffee. Therefore, some people compare Yaoko coffee to coffee that appeals to the tongue.
