Our family acquired the Gripiñas Estate in 1898 soon after the Spanish-American War ended. In 1904 its coffee product, Café Gripiñas, won "Grand Prix" at the St. Louis World's Fair in Louisiana. There are very few coffee companiesthat are still run by the same family over generations. Today, we operate as a small family owned business in Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Our 100% Arabica beans are hand picked and selected to ensure the highest quality. Our coffee trees grow in the highest region of Puerto Rico meaning they carry deeper flavour, more cream, smoother aroma and better acidic balance than most coffees around the world; it very well may be the strongest and tastiest coffee in the world.

At the beggining of our history, Gripiñas was quickly recognized as one of the best coffees in the world. Recently, Torrefacción Mayor has put Gripiñas and Mayor Coffee back on the international map as customers can currently find our products at Harrods in London.
