This artisanal coffee comes from specially selected Puerto Rican farms where fully ripened cherries are handpicked, wet-milled and dried carefully to preserve aromatic oils and flavor complexity. Roasted to a medium profile and sized for consistency, these whole beans are crafted to deliver a balanced espresso-style cup or a rich brewed coffee with pronounced chocolate notes and a smooth finish. The pack contains three 12-ounce bags (36 oz total), ideal for home baristas who value origin, clarity and approachable intensity.
What tasting experience can I expect from this Puerto Rican roast?
You’ll notice a chocolate-forward aroma with a full body and low, layered acidity that keeps the cup smooth rather than sharp. The medium roast highlights the bean’s natural sugars and preserves subtle aromatics from the washed processing method.
- Primary flavor: chocolate and cocoa nuances
- Body: full and rounded for a satisfying mouthfeel
- Acidity: low and complex, not bright or citrusy
- Finish: clean, slightly sweet, with lingering aroma
How should I brew these whole beans for best results?
Use freshly ground beans and match grind size to your method: finer for espresso, medium-fine for pour-over, and coarser for French press. We recommend brewing with filtered water at 195–205°F and adjusting dose to taste; start at about 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio for drip or pour-over and 1:2 for espresso concentrates.
- Espresso: fine grind, 18–20 g dose, 25–30 second extraction
- Pour-over: medium-fine grind, 16 g per 250 ml water
- French press: coarse grind, 1:15 ratio, steep 4 minutes
- Storage: keep sealed, cool, and away from light to retain aroma
Where does this coffee come from and how is it processed?
The beans originate from selected farms in Puerto Rico, grown at roughly 1,850–2,500 feet altitude. Harvested at full ripeness, the cherries go through a washed (wet-milled) process and are dried at low temperatures to protect delicate flavor compounds.
- Altitude range: about 1,850–2,500 ft for balanced acidity and sugar development
- Process: washed (wet-milled) to emphasize clarity and brightness
- Roast: medium to showcase both origin character and roast-derived sweetness
- Bean size: screened (size 17) for consistency in roasting and extraction
Can this coffee be used for espresso machines and other brewing styles?
Yes—this medium roast whole bean is versatile enough for espresso machines, manual espresso, moka pots and most filter methods. The full body and balanced profile make it suitable for single-origin espresso shots or as a base for milk drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.
- Ideal for espresso: produces a rich crema and chocolate notes
- Great for milk drinks: cuts through milk without becoming bitter
- Works well drip and pour-over: clarity with substantial body
- Also compatible with stovetop methods for a concentrated cup
