What are the processing methods and characteristics of the coffee at San Pedro Manor?

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.

The decline of Puerto Rico's coffee industry has a lot to do with its awkward economic and political situation. During the Spanish-American War, the United States had established a strong and lasting coffee trade agreement with Brazil, a coffee giant, and did not give too much thought to Puerto Rico, which had just been successful. Moreover, the economic purpose of the United States in the Caribbean is mainly focused on the sugar industry, which has made the local sugar cane production so booming that small-scale coffee retail investors have no way to fight, and coffee manufacturers who can survive have to merge again and again to retain their strength. It is said that the quality of local varieties has also been affected.

Nowadays, Puerto Rico's coffee is not even enough for domestic demand, and it still needs to import raw beans from other places for baking, so we don't know how much of the coffee we snapped up was picked on the island.

But the shortage of coffee on the island is not entirely due to the decline in production. Because of the closer relationship with the United States, few local people are willing to engage in the coffee-picking business. According to records, 1/4 of the coffee on the trees is wasted every year because it is not picked, because coffee farmers go to work in the United States. Those who stay, because of the minimum wage law, government subsidies, and other social welfare reasons, are also unwilling to do the work of bending over the slopes all day in the scorching sun. According to the latest statistics, today the population of the island is about 3.9 million, while the population of Puerto Rico in the United States reaches 4.2 million. No wonder the state government has recently been weighing the use of prisoners to pick coffee beans. It is just the effectiveness of these prisoners who prefer to stay in air-conditioned cells, no one knows that Yaoke Yauco is an area of 176.5 square kilometers in the southern part of Poland, named for its production of Tainos, but local residents prefer to call themselves: la Ciudad del Caf é (the city of coffee) and la Capital Ta í na (Tainos center). In the 1960s, immigrants from Corsican improved the cultivation of coffee and pioneered the application of flower sticking machines to the process of peeling coffee, making Puerto Rico an outstanding representative of coffee, ranking sixth in the world in terms of production and sales.

The Spanish-American War of 1889 ended with the victory of the United States, ending more than 400 years of Spanish rule over Puerto Rico. The demand for sugar in the United States has increased significantly, while the hurricane destroyed most coffee plantations, and the coffee industry in Puerto Rico was hit hard by natural and man-made disasters.

The national economy of Puerto Rico developed rapidly in the 20th century. Stimulated by the strong support of the government and the expanding demand of the local market, Polish coffee gradually returned to its former elegant demeanor. The Yauco region is internationally renowned for its full Body, creamy and red wine aftertaste and chocolate nut finish.
