150 YEARS OF FINE PUERTO RICAN COFFEES
Purchase Coffee & Swag
80 days. Harvest to purchase. The cycle of coffee at Hacienda Masini for 150 years…
Harvest begins in early October when ripe coffee cherries are picked and de-pulped the same day to remove the red skin. Green cherries stay on the tree until they are ripe. The next day, the de-hulled beans are washed and sun-dried on trays. These trays can be moved under the house to keep them dry. In 10-20 days, depending on sunlight, the beans dry to 11.5% humidity. They are then stored in air-tight bags for two months to enhance flavor. After that, they go through a machine called a “piladora” to remove any remaining thin skin, similar to peanut skin. Once "piladas," the beans, now known as green beans for their color, are ready for roasting and packaging.

Hacienda Masini’s Cafe logo captures the spirit and mission of the farm. The cafe logo comes from a historic farm bag stencil, while the flowers are abstractions of coffee’s unique ‘sympetalous’ (partly fused) ‘actinomorphic’ (radially symmetrical). flowers, The pair of Puerto Rican ‘carpinteros’ (woodpeckers), represent the forested highlands and critical, mutual relationships created through agro-ecology.
