Coffee anyone? The Caribbean has a long history of coffee production, particularly on islands with high mountainous regions and cool climates. Did you know… Jamaican Blue Mountain is by far the most well known coffee product to come out of Jamaica, planted in the Blue Mountains at elevations between 1,500 and 5,000 feet above sea level. Puerto Rico, was once one of the worlds leading coffee producing areas, Puerto Rico still is well known for the Yauco Selecto coffee brand produced from bourbon beans in the southwestern mountains, as well as the Alto Grande premium brand. The Dominican Republic, coffee beans are grown primarily in the mountains above Jarabacoa, and typically end up being used in dark roast espresso blends. Haiti, which shares Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, covers about one-third of the landmass on the west side. Haiti experienced resurgence in the coffee trade after the turn of the 21st century, with several thousand cooperative farmers now producing a trademarked specialty coffee known as Haitian Bleu.
