Coffee TimeAnytime is the best time for a cup of coffee... We invite you to peruse our offerings of Coffee, both beans and ground from Columbia, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Puerto Rico. Let's start with.... COLUMBIAN COFFEE...Colombian Coffee Beans are grown at high altitudes and tended with painstaking care. This coffee is among the best in the world, rich, full-bodied, and perfectly balanced. Coffea Arabica L., more commonly known as the Arabica bean, prefers higher altitudes and drier climated than its cousin, the lower quality Robusta bean (C. Robusta). Therefore, the arid mountains and the well-drained, rich volcanic soil of Columbia provide ideal conditions got growing high quality coffee.
It is not known for sure when coffee first reached Columbia. Many historians believe it to be around the same time Jesuit priests first began arriving from Europe in the mid 16th century. The first exports of coffee from Colombia began in 1835. BOLIVIAN COFFEE...The medium-bodied coffee of Bolivia has been compared to Colombian coffee. It is known for its classic and clean taste with a delicate, bright acidity and a sweet aromatic quality with fruity notes including apple, pear, tangerine, lemon and apricot. Caramelly and mild chocolate flavors may develop during the coffee roasting process. NICARAGUAN COFFEE...Coffee was introduced in Nicaragua in the mid-nineteenth century. Unfortunately, Nicaraguan coffee has lost some of the valuable characteristics that once caused it to be a sought after coffee. Now the wet-processed Nicaraguan coffee bean is mild, with a light acidity appropriate for blending and dark roasting.
The Jinotega, Matagalpa, and Segovia regions produce the best-known Nicaragua coffees. As time passes, they will probably reveal coffees in the standard Central America mode: fragrant, complex, with a nut and vanilla bouquet, moderately acidy and medium in body. Jinotega and Segovia coffees occasionally display a bigger, bolder acidity. Most Nicaragua coffee is shade grown. PUERTO RICIAN COFFEE...Puerto Rico coffee will sometimes be sold under the name Yauco Selecto. These coffee beans are described as full-bodied, balanced and gentle. These coffee characteristics are often accompanied by a favorable complexity.
Puerto Rico has a well developed coffee tradition. The history of coffee is closely tied to the history of this Caribbean island. First brought in 1736, the Spanish immigrants who settled on the island in the fertile valleys. Their main concerns were the sugar and feed crops.
During the early part of the 19th century, events in Europe forced a migration of residents from the French Mediterranean Island of Corsica. As the valleys were taken, they went to the highlands and settled in the Southwestern Mountains mostly around a town called Yauco. Hard work and determination was rewarded when they brought forth the idea of growing coffee. By the 1860's they dominated the coffee industry on the island. We are confident that you will find the coffee of your wildest dreams. I know that we did.
