Welcome to Coquí Reserve Coffee Co.

Where Heritage Meets the World

At Coquí Reserve Coffee Co., every cup tells a story—a story that begins on the misty mountains of Puerto Rico and stretches across continents. Our brand is built on the belief that coffee is more than a beverage; it’s a celebration of history, heritage, and global connection. We invite you to explore a world where the richness of Puerto Rican soil meets the legacy of beans from distant origins, uniting to create an experience unlike any other.

Whether you're a seasoned coffee aficionado or just starting to explore specialty brews, our mission is to bring the unique flavors and rich culture of the island to your daily ritual. Named after the iconic Coquí frog, a beloved symbol of Puerto Rican identity, our brand draws deep inspiration from the island’s coffee-growing traditions. Puerto Rican coffee is world-renowned for its smooth, balanced flavor and aromatic complexity—characteristics nurtured by the island’s fertile volcanic soils and ideal climate.

Puerto Rican coffee’s journey is unique. Rooted in the 18th century, its heritage was shaped by varietals brought from Martinique, themselves tracing origins to Yemen. Over centuries, influences from Africa, South America, and Asia have woven a tapestry of flavor and tradition. At Coquí Reserve, we honor this global blend, crafting coffee that is smooth, balanced, and deeply connected to its multicultural roots.

The Story of Puerto Rican Coffee: A Tapestry of Global Influence

Puerto Rico’s coffee legacy began in the 1730s, with the arrival of Arabica beans via Martinique. These beans, originating from Yemen, found fertile ground in Puerto Rico’s volcanic soil and lush climate. Over time, local growers embraced not only the land but also the knowledge and beans from across the globe.

• Ethiopia: Often regarded as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia’s varietals brought floral notes and complexity to the island’s cup.
• Colombia & Brazil: Known for their chocolatey, mellow profiles, these beans contributed smoothness and richness.
• Southeast Asia: Techniques and strains from this region added depth and resilience, helping Puerto Rican coffee withstand the tests of time and weather.

This global exchange did not just shape the taste, but also the culture. Puerto Rican coffee was, at its height, prized by European royalty and the Vatican. Today, this heritage is embodied in every batch we roast, blending international influence with local pride.

What Makes Coquí Reserve Coffee Unique?

At Coquí Reserve Coffee Co., we honor this centuries-old tradition by thoughtfully curating beans that reflect Puerto Rico’s global connections. Our approach includes:

• Selective Sourcing: We partner with local Puerto Rican farms and select estates around the world, focusing on Arabica beans known for their nuanced flavor and gentle acidity.
• Artisanal Roasting: Each batch is roasted in small quantities, preserving the beans’ natural character and ensuring consistency.
• Sustainable Practices: We are committed to environmentally conscious methods, supporting both the land and the communities that nurture it.

What sets us apart is our dedication to highlighting the balanced, vibrant profile that has defined Puerto Rican coffee for generations. Our blends are crafted to showcase smooth body, bright acidity, and subtle fruit and spice notes—a true celebration of heritage in every sip.
