Puerto Rico

Puerto Rican coffee has the typical”island profile”. These coffees, which include Jamaica and Kona, have a soft cup, not acidic, balanced, and mild. : I have tried other Puerto Rican coffees but only bought Yauco Selecto in recent years. And we pick and choose the shipments because the really early lots have a greenish cast to the cup flavors, and the late lots turn a bit flat. When this coffee is on, in the mid-crop pickings, don’t expect fireworks … rather, think about the general term “island profile”. These coffees, which include Jamaica and Kona, have a soft cup, not acidic, balanced, and mild. They are approachable coffees, and all happen to be quite expensive. (Be aware of the fact that higher priced coffees don’t necessarily have a “better” cup, but rather that price is determined by the cost of production, and limited availability. Remember that this is a coffee grown in the U.S. so production costs are higher.)
