Top 10 Coffee Haciendas of Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico boasts many coffee farms across the Island, occupying an estimated 40,000 acres of land in the middle of the island. Farmers use this land to produce some 20 million pounds of coffee a year, generally exporting around 10% of the harvest. Grown and harvested in the center region of Puerto Rico, locals enjoy this local product in “pocillo” (espresso), “cortadito” (espresso with steamed milk) or “café con leche” (a latte). Island visitors can not only do the same, but can also partake in unique and captivating tours of local coffee plantations.

It is said that the Vatican serves Puerto Rico’s Alto Grande Super Premium Coffee, one of just three coffee brands in the world bestowed with the super-premium quality classification. So, when thinking about exploring Puerto Rico’s food and beverage offerings, remember the coffee. Salud!
