Three Centuries of Distinguished Coffee Tradition. Puerto Rico´s history conserves the memory of an island world-renowned for its production of a coffee of excellence in the 19th century. Yes, this tiny Caribbean island´s coffee was the competition of coffee giants like Brazil, Cuba, and Java, to the point of becoming the 6th largest coffee exporter in the world by the 1860´s, only decades after coffee was introduced in Puerto Rico´s agriculture by Spanish traders and inmigrants in the 18th Century.
Tiny Island. Royal Distinction. Apart from notable production volumes, the Coffee of Puerto Rico became highly-acclaimed in Europe for its singular and delicate attributes. It was the choice of Roman Popes and Spanish Kings, upholding a legacy of prestige and predilection. Its distinguished quality was undisputed.
Why Choose Puerto Rican Coffee Today? Most global market coffee exporters resort to mass production and large-scale industrial processes to obtain their end-products. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico´s small farm and roaster production sizes facilitate artisan-scale coffee harvesting, selection, and preparation processes. Our Island combines this with a tradition of expertise and zeal for coffee to achieve a highly select and globally distinguished coffee as an outcome.
Such is our love for Puerto Rico´s Coffee that we couldn´t help but express it in the traditional way. In Spanish verses called “Décimas”, here we tell you what Puerto Rico Coffee Hub is all about.
