Introduction to the flavor and taste of coffee from Chateau San Pedro, Jamaica

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.

In 1736, coffee trees were introduced from Martinique to Puerto Rico. Most of the early coffee was grown by immigrants from Corsica. By 1896, Puerto Rico was the sixth largest exporter of coffee in the world, with most coffee shipped to France, Italy, Spain and Cuba. Coffee farms flourished in the 19th century, but the rise of sugarcane and drug farming as well as the impact of hurricanes and wars made the coffee industry lag behind and is now recovering.

Today, Puerto Rican gourmet coffee has been exported to the United States, France and Japan. Coffee in this country is generally carefully cultivated with pure flavor, aroma and heavy granules, among which the best is among the world's famous brands. The best coffee is Yallco Selecto, which means "Selecto". Grand Larez and Yaoke coffee (Grand LaresYauco) are produced in the southwest of the island, while Larez coffee is produced in the south-central part of the island.

Yaocote's choice of coffee, which is grown only 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 Yauco area, the coffee is owned and operated by local planters. 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's time to pick coffee beans, people walk back and forth between coffee trees, picking only fully ripe coffee beans, and then washing them in a roller device for 48 hours.
