international destinations. To
take advantage of this rate you’ll have to place your order using the
Order Form

will make every effort to ship your order in 5 to 7 business days unless otherwise stated,
however, it could take longer if necessary to make sure we ship you a fresh
batch of coffee. The flat rate
does not apply to international destinations.
For your information: We want
you to know that our next batch of fresh coffee ships out of the farm in
Maricao on Tuesdays. Please place your order before Monday to be included in
that batch of freshly roasted coffee.
A
guide to shipping: We do not stock-pile our coffee. When
placing your order please keep in mind that Tuesday is the day our coffee
ships out of the farm in Maricao and we receive it on Friday. We need
your help so that we can bring you the freshest coffee from the mountains of
Maricao, Puerto Rico to your door. Please place your order before
3:00PM ET on Mondays to be included in the Tuesday batch of freshly roasted coffee.
Your order will be shipped out to you on Friday and you should receive it in
two-three business days thereafter. Holidays are not counted and bear
in mind unforeseen circumstances that may delay shipping by the USPS and the
farmer in Maricao, Puerto Rico. We make every effort to ship your
order out as soon as possible upon receiving payment. Thank you for your
patience and understanding.
Customers Testimonials

"Thank you for
sending the 8 oz. bag of gourmet beans. I received it today and when I
opened it I noticed the aroma and quality of the beans immediately. These
are roasted to a darker color, the way I like them, and are much fresher
than other beans I have received from other sources. I ground some fine and
made a double espresso in my pump machine. Ah!.....this is what Cafe de
Puerto Rico should be all about! Wonderful, with a slight chocolate
aftertaste."

"Hola, Estuve
leyendo su pagina sobre el café que se vende en los E.U. y tienen mucha
razón. Yo llevo 10 años viviendo en los E.U. y por ejemplo el café Yaucano
que se compra en el supermercado no tiene el mismo sabor que el de Puerto
Rico. Lo que sabe es a café collor, un café sin aroma y sin sabor, un café
muerto y hay otras marcas que dicen que son 'elaborado en Puerto Rico' y son
mezcla de Dios sabe de donde. A mi no me cogen, yo vengo del Barrio
Caonillas de Utuado y mi abuelo cultivaba café en sus 82 cuerdas. Las
cuerdas están pero lo que no hay es quien trabaje. No aparecen cogedores. Yo
he comprado café de todas marcas y todavía en los 10 años que llevo aquí
ninguno de esos cafés me llega ni a los tobillos. Por lo tanto voy a ordenar
una libra con ustedes para probar. Les deseo lo mejor y que dios bendiga a
Puerto Rico, que tanto extraño. Salud."

Received this
order on Tuesday...USPS worked as it should this time. Your coffee is
fabulous--both the ground and the beans...we enjoy it often. I am sharing it
with everybody in my family. You will get more orders from us!!! How is it
the world does not know more about this coffee from PR???
To preserve the natural aroma and
flavor of our coffee - we recommend to use the entire content of the bag
as soon as possible once the bag has been opened - and to squeeze the air
from the bag and close it tightly and place it in airtight container and
store in the fridge or freezer after every use.
You
must be aware of the many factors that influence the brewing of the
“perfect” cup of coffee and that “perfect” is relative to each
individual’s taste and expectations. What’s perfect to you might not
necessarily be perfect to someone else. You must also be aware that not
everyone prepares their brew the same way and consequently they will get
different results. It’s very easy to ruin the “perfect” brew. We have done
our part in bringing to you Cafe Real. We take pride in growing and
selecting and processing the Arabica beans that we know meet or exceed the
qualities we demand. With this in mind we wish you the best in brewing the
“perfect” cup. And, if at first you don't get the flavor you want - try a
different method of brewing, if you grind your own try more or less coarse
grind, more or less ground, more or less water, try varying the water
temperature, try cooking the brew more or less time, etc. Good Luck!
We only sell Café Real de Puerto Rico®
with our seal of distinction. We do
not sell coffee from the big roasting companies. We only sell coffee
that we can guarantee to be from farms in Puerto Rico. You will not find the
