Since 1992, Don Luis counts with a two hectare plantation of bourbon variety. Its pruning in 2017 is the reason why this was the only farm that survived María, a category 5 hurricane that caused havoc across the island on September 20th of the same year. Its isolated location has contributed to it being a healthy plantation, free of many plagues that commonly affect coffee trees. This coffee is processed on an ecological farm the same day it is harvested. The sun drying and three-step classification process (size, density, and color) help Don Luis obtain a uniform product. Its medium roast highlights its best aromatic and flavor attributes. Luis Roig, creator of Café Don Luis says, “Bourbon coffee is definitely a gem for those who cultivate and care for its production.” Its debut white package seeks to transmit peace, purity and cleanliness.
