our Story

In the spring of 1999 Gustos Coffee Co. was founded by Daniel Omar Torres and Grisel León. A mutual admiration for coffee, driven by their new found love fueled their passion for the industry. The challenges they faced along the way were surpassed by their natural resilience, which gave way to the elaboration of the finest puerto rican specialty coffee.

Uncompromising attention to quality and service is where it all begins, at our farm in Yauco, Puerto Rico.

Fully ripened cherries sourced from specially selected farms are handpicked, wet-milled and dried at low temperatures. This preserves their unique, organic character producing a consistent flavor and aromatic experience. A rigorous selection process, in accordance with the Specialty Coffee Association, ensures every seed we harvest meets the highest level of standard.

Since the beginning, Gustos Coffee Company has been committed to it’s community by supporting local farmers through incentives and fair trade practices, furthering the longevity of Puerto Rico’s agriculture.

” Thankful for all the dedicated, hard-working hands, every step of the way that are essential to producing the highest quality Puerto Rican coffee. We hope to share our passion for coffee and the joy it brings us, from each seed planted to every sip, bringing us all together, from farm to cup.”
