We took a tour of Hacienda Muñoz in San Lorenzo, a half an hour up the mountains from San Juan. Its coffee has won the Best Coffee People’s Choice Award at the Puerto Rico Coffee and Chocolate Expo for three years running. Is it really that good?
The tour focused on the coffee industry and its history, as well as the methods used to grow, process, and roasting coffee. The detail was sometimes excruciating, as we stood on the hillside in the hot sun listening to our impassioned guide go one and on and on.
While small, it’s a much larger operation that Hacienda Iluminada, the small hacienda we toured last fall which focused its tour on sustainable practices and integration into the forest. Here, we saw neat rows of coffee plants planted in full sun. In addition to its coffee fields, Hacienda Muñoz operates a small café, where we enjoyed fresh turkey sandwiches on baguettes, and a larger restaurant.
Lisa bought a bag of the medium roast coffee, and it was indeed exemplary.
The cost for the tour was $20, or $10 for kids and those over 60. It included a tasting.
