Fruity Puerto Rico Fine Coffee Growing Location Climate Altitude Profile

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 chooses coffee beans to be kept in shells before they are shipped and the skins are not removed until the order is 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.

Escoquito? Jaime Fortu Fortuno, the president of Escogido Yauco's agency, 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.

With the advance of modernization, the Americanization of Puerto Rican culture is becoming more and more obvious. However, people of insight on the island believe that Puerto Rican culture should not be assimilated into the mainstream culture of the United States, otherwise the national identity of Puerto Rico will be lost. This proposition is closely linked to the debate over the political status of Puerto Rico and has become a political issue of concern to every Puerto Rican. The issue of language is one of the focuses of debate. When the people's Democratic Party came to power, it regained the priority of Spanish, but as time went on, English became more and more important. The direction of the development of Puerto Rican culture is still an open question. Education is relatively developed. The government has always attached importance to education and provides free and compulsory education for students aged 6 and 16. Classes are taught in Spanish, but English is a compulsory course. Higher education is well developed

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 adopting mixed crop planting measures to make the soil more fertile.

Puerto Rico has a low-wage system, with a per capita hourly wage of $4.20 in 1991. Still, manual workers earn more than workers in many other coffee-producing countries, as long as Hawaii and Yamaja are on a par. Another problem facing the Puerto Rican coffee industry is that Puerto Ricans have better employment prospects because of their relatively high cultural quality in the Caribbean.

On 6 November 2012, Puerto Rico held its fourth referendum. The referendum consists of two rounds of voting. In the first round, Puerto Ricans voted on "whether they want to change the status quo in their relations with the United States". 1.8 million people were eligible to vote, 65000 gave up the first round of voting, and 54 per cent of those who took part in the vote supported a change of relationship. Subsequently, Puerto Ricans made a choice on how to make a change, with three options for voters to choose from: "become a state of the United States", "expand autonomy" and "full independence". In this round of voting, only 1.3 million people voted, 61 per cent supported becoming the 51st state of the United States, about 33 per cent wanted to expand autonomy, while only 5 per cent were in favour of full independence when the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898 and Spain was defeated. Puerto Rico was ceded to the United States under the Paris Treaty. The administrative jurisdiction of the United States over Puerto Rico first took the form of a military junta. During its two years of governance of the island, the junta established schools, roads, railways, hospitals and health facilities. In 1900, the United States Congress established civilian control over the island. One of the two chambers of the Governor, the Cabinet and the Puerto Rican legislature is appointed by the President of the United States. Puerto Ricans elect another chamber of the legislature and a commissioner based in the capital who will represent the interests of the island in Washington and have a voice but no vote in Congress. Puerto Ricans are also exempt from United States taxes

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 taste, aroma and heavy granules, among which the best is among the world's famous brands. The best coffee is 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.
