| Puerto Rico |
| In the 19th century Puerto Rico was one of the world’s leading coffee origins. |
| |
| In 1896, for example, the island was the sixth largest coffee producer in the world. But in the |
|
|
|
| 20th century coffee apparently became lost in the complex political and economic shuffle that marked Puerto Rico’s passage from agricultural economy and Spanish colony to developing American commonwealth. |
| |
In the late 1980’s, however, a consortium of farmers led by Harvard educated marketing expert Jaime Fortuno revived Puerto Rico as a specialty coffee origin.
Puerto Rico Yauco Selecto is produced at elevations
above 3000 feet in the southwestern mountains from
trees of the admired bourbon variety and other
traditional local Puerto Rican cultivars.
At best it is a superb example of the Caribbean
taste, Soft yet powerful, with a fragrant, fruity
sweetness. This potentially finest of Caribbean
coffee is, however, often marred by inconsistency. |
