Since 1992, Don Luis counts with a two hectare plantation of bourbon variety. Its pruning in 2017 is the reason why this was the only farm that survived María, a category 5 hurricane that caused havoc across the island on September 20th of the same year. Its isolated location has contributed to it being a healthy plantation, free of many plagues that commonly affect coffee trees.
This coffee is processed on an ecological farm the same day it is harvested. The sun drying and three-step classification process (size, density, and color) help Don Luis obtain a uniform product. Its medium roast highlights its best aromatic and flavor attributes.
Luis Roig, creator of Café Don Luis says, “Bourbon coffee is definitely a gem for those who cultivate and care for its production.” Its debut white package seeks to transmit peace, purity and cleanliness.

More about Bourbon coffee variety Coffee was introduced in Puerto Rico in 1736, from Martinique, via the Dominican Republic. The tipica and bourbon varieties were the first introduced and are culturally and genetically some of the most important of arabica coffee. Bourbon coffee’s unique characteristics contribute to its arduous farming processes. Today, few farms cultivate this distinguished variety. High in the mountainous region of Yauco, Café Don Luis is satisfied to count with hectares of Bourbon coffee, a coveted coffee “gem”.

The entire experience was AMAZING! Received the cafe quickly. Since I live far from mi island del Encanto, this is the next best thing! Plus I love supporting local coffees from the island.
The coffee I order here is outstanding! I ordered the Puta de Madre and it’s so delicious. I ordered the Oro coffee in the holiday tin gift set. (3) it’s delicious also. I can’t believe how fast I receive it. I live in West Virginia. I’ve spoke to (Carlos) a few times he’s always so friendly knowledgeable and helpful. You can’t go wrong with any coffee they have or ordering from them. I beyond satisfied. Thank you PR coffee hub!
I had some questions about what coffee to order to match the coffee preference of the people I was ordering coffee as a gift for. I called the store and they were extremely friendly very helpful and knowledgeable. I so appreciate that. I will definitely be a repeat customer especially for myself and as gifts for my coffee loving friends. Thanks so much.
Recently found this site and ordered a bag for my dad for Christmas. It only took a few days to get here. I’m so excited to have found authentic coffee from home. Now I Dnt have to wait to visit Puerto Rico to get coffee. Thank you for the quick shipping and great packaging. Will be ordering again soon!
