Coffee production in Puerto Rico

Coffee plantation in Puerto Rico

Coffee production in Puerto Rico has a checkered history between the 18th century and the present. Output peaked during the Spanish colonial rule but slumped when the island was annexed by the United States in 1898.[1] In recent years, the gourmet coffee trade has seen an exponential growth with many of the traditional coffee haciendas of the Spanish colonial period being revived.[2] Puerto Rican coffee is characterized as smooth and sweet.[3]
