During my short lived time in Puerto Rico, I fell in love with a wide range of island coffee.
I had the opportunity to tour a few coffee farms. I learned about their process and how they went from seeds, plants, harvest, roasting, manufacturing to the finished coffee ground sold at local stores.
My favorites are: Café Oro de Puerto Rico, Café El Coquí, Café Lareño, Yaucano
Sadly, I had to leave. I miss living in there. I miss the beaches, mountains and most of all I miss the sounds the Coquí makes at night.
I miss seeing the stars and the Milky Way when I used to work at the Arecibo Observatory. Whenever I had the chance to go up onto the gantry that held suspended a three story movable Dome, I would pause to look at the sky and across the island. With very little light pollution, I could see more constellations than I would in the city. It was just magical. Fond memories.
