Puerto Rico Coffee Roasters on Thursday launched an awareness and social responsibility project dubbed “Sembrando el Bien,” (“Sowing the Good”) whose goal is to preserve and spare natural resources by developing sustainable agriculture to contribute to the island’s well being.
Gustos Coffee Co., producers of the Casa Grande brand of Puerto Rican-grown 100 percent Arabica coffee, is getting ready to expand its presence in the island’s retail market, investing $1 million in its operation to meet growing local demand for its aromatic home-grown java.
Even as Starbucks Coffee Puerto Rico LLC readies to unveil a new store on Loíza St., it is scouting for prime locations for the new stores planned for 2014 in an investment that could reach $1.5 million, said a company official.
