Puerto Rico: Yauco Selecto

Origin / crop
Yauco Selecto, made from 100% Arabica beans, grows on just three coffee farms in the southwestern corner of Puerto Rico. The high ground offers fertile clay soil, a moderate climate and a long rainy season lasting from October to February.

About this coffee
By special agreement, Yauco Selecto is kept in the shell until it is shipped. The beans are only shelled after the receipt of an order to ensure optimum freshness. No more than 3000 sacks of this premium-quality coffee, each weighing 45 kg, are harvested each year. That’s less than 1% of all the coffee grown on the island.

Flavour
Puerto Rican coffee is naturally full-bodied, intense and not at all bitter. It has an aroma full of character combined with a rich fullness. The strong body of Yauco Selecto makes this coffee a taste experience to savour. As an espresso, Yauco Selecto develops a very fine chocolate aroma.

Recommendation
For the typical small, black espresso.
