This our first tour during our stay in Puerto Rico and was one of our favorite experiences with the top spot going to the bioluminescent tour in vieques. I think that says a lot about how much we enjoyed this lol. The drive to the farm was beautiful. Yes the last 15-30 minutes are a little rough and narrow. The views are stunning once you arrive. Tal (likely spelling her name wrong, so sorry!) was a sweetheart during the tour! I learned about the coffee making process, how much effort it takes to be an organic farm and to truly appreciate that cup of espresso. I'm unsure about other farms but all the coffee beans here are harvested by hand! After we did a very brief walk to the coffee plants, we went to try some freshly brewed coffee. Roasted the regular and natural way, with delicious chocolate and banana biscotti treats as well. We also loved all the fruit trees we saw, even star apples! Israel was kind enough to let us pick the fruit we wanted! read more

Today was our second trip up to Sandra Farms and it will definitely not be our last. What a pleasure it was to meet with Israel, the owner, and have him as our tour guide. We listened to Israel passionately tell us his story and how Sandra Farms began. My husband and I could've listened to him speak all day - and truly hope he decides one day to write a book as we'd be first in line to purchase it. You will feel as if you climbed your way up to Heaven. The views and mountain breezes will be etched in your heart forever! The roads can in areas be a bit of a challenge but we promise you that it is worth each and every droplet of sweat. When the tour is over you will taste some of the best - if not the best coffee you've ever tasted, as well as chocolates that are to die for. If you really want to experience some of Puerto Ricos most beautiful land and people, be sure to visit Sandra Farms. read more

If you made it here, you're an adventurous soul. The roads to get here goes from bad to worse. A 4x4 vehicle is recommended. We drove through a storm to get here, which wasn't fun. This place is very rural and rugged, so wear appreciate shoes. Lots of steep walking. Carmelo is very knowledgeable regarding coffee growing and production. Additionally, we tasted raw cacao beans, which were somewhat slimy but sweet and delicious. He took us around some of the property, but not all 25 aches (very disappointed ((inside joke)). Beware of the restroom, it's a bit sketchy. The B&B is small but has amazing views of the surrounding valleys. We were treated to several beautiful rainbows. The coffee and chocolate tastings were informative and delicious. Someone he knows made banana biscotti, which was really tasty. Overall a great experience, if you like near-death ones with great coffee. read more

One of the best experiences/ tours we've ever done. We learned so much about coffee and the native plants on the property as well as the history of coffee in Puerto Rico. Our guide Tal was very informative and passionate about her job at the farm and made the tasting experience very personal. 100% would recommend for the coffee, the views and for Tal. We will certainly be back. read more

Great coffee tour at Sandra Farms in the Guayabo Dulce area of Adjuntas! The 2+ hour tour featured two coffee tastings and three dark chocolate tastings. An incredible experience with a trilingual (English, Spanish, German) guide who lives right on the property. In addition to discussing and viewing coffee plants, the tour also included the opportunity to see some unique flowers and medicinal plants as well as other crops grown for the owners' personal use such as macadamia nuts, pineapples, kale, herbs and berries. Note that the ride here is quite an experience and maybe not the best for a small car- an SUV or Jeep would do better. We made it in a sedan but be cautious of potholes, hairpin turns and narrow lanes where only one car can pass at a time on a two lane road. Make sure you visit during daylight- I think they close before sunset anyway but I would not want to negotiate these roads in the dark. They have coffee and chocolate available for purchase - coffee is about $25 and large bag of individually wrapped chocolates also $25- artisanal with artisanal prices. Tour is $30. Cash and Venmo only. read more

Wonderful tour and tour guide. He spent time explaining everything to us in English and Spanish. He is also fluent in German. He is well traveled and extremely knowledgeable. He prepared the pour-over coffee for us to taste as well as some dark chocolate! They only accept cash & Venmo. The drive up the mountain was beautiful, but slow (poor road quality, lots of potholes, mud, windy roads). Highly recommend printing map/directions in advance as GPS is spotty. The view was amazing, and there are also tons of flora, fauna, fruit trees, herbs to see! Highly recommend! read more

I loved this tour. This was my first coffee tour, but I've been to a lot of wineries...and I've never had a better time of actually learning about the agriculture. Carmelo was fantastic! Yes, he had some tangents, but they added color. And for the most part, he's a total encyclopedia and wears his love for coffee and Puerto Rico on his sleeve. Before I go any further, the comments about the road quality are so overdone. C'mon, guys. It's not the best road. I drive worse roads for hiking all the time in the northwest. If you know how to drive and go a reasonable speed, you'll be fine here. Back to the goof stuff: the views here are among the best in Puerto Rico. The coffee tasting at the end was great, too. I brew pourover at home and had fun comparing my method against Carmelo's. I'd gladly come back here again read more

Absolutely amazing tour! I hate basic coffee tours that feel like they are just trying to throw any info at you and rush you out. Our host was amazing, VERY knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything and give you a visual explanation of the coffee making process. He was the most down to earth person ever, recommended other places for us to visit. He was 100% the reason the tour was this great. Other than that, very beautiful sights, I felt like I walked out with so much info. It didn't feel like you were touring a booming coffee farm. It felt very genuine, like if you were invited into someone's house for really good coffee ! WARNING: the drive up is a little difficult but very doable. AND DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!!! I was gonna do another coffee tour and my friend picked this one instead and I absolutely did not regret it and was so happy we chose this farm instead. VERY VERY Worth a little bit of a hard drive up read more

Sandra Farms - A bit of the view - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Adjuntas, Puerto Rico

This tour was fantastic. This is not a large commercial farm, but a small family owned operation focused on growing the best coffee. Our tour guide Carmelo was great and told us all about the farm and growing coffee. It was also interesting to see all the different plants growing on the farm. After the tour, Carmelo prepared some pour-over coffee for everyone. The coffee was fantastic. We also had an opportunity to taste chocolate made from cacao beans grown on the farm and it was literally the best chocolate we have ever tasted. Part of the charm of the place is the location. Leave plenty of time for the drive and the farm is high up in the mountains, far from civilization. Expect narrow and poorly maintained mountain roads. But getting there was part of the fun for us. But even if that isn't your idea of fun, the view more than make up for the drive. read more

Went on this tour last week.. I wont take any stars away for the drive (but yes the drive up is uncomfortable) that's not their fault. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, entertaining and we learned SO much. About the farm itself, about coffee on and off the farm and how to make our own fresh coffee. The views are amazing and the coffee tasting and coffee chocolate at the end ... yes I definitely brought all of it home with me. Highly recommend -- just bring a gingerale for the ride. read more

Um... I was really expecting a well-manicured, vineyard-esque experience where we learn a lot about Puerto Rican coffee and chocolate. The views are beautiful and the chocolate here is the standout. Buy them online on their website. I would rate the farm a 3.5 as a storytelling/informational experience. My warning to you is the drive to get here. It is absolutely harrowing - had I known about the drive, I would have never come. If this review is too long - skip to my last paragraph. This is really like a jungle where coffee happens to grow, and the dudes here harvest the beans by yolo'ing down a muddy cliff and tarzaning from coffee plant to coffee plant. I believe the tour was $20, have to make reservation, max party of 6. Our tour guide was Caramello, and the tour lasted 3 or 3.5 hours. What it was was really learning about coffee, all the random fruit trees and herbs they grew or happened to grow, how Maria devastated them, and what they had to endure in the aftermath. Our tour guide tongue in cheek shaded Tres Angeles, the "fancy" roaster down the street and the Puerto Rican government to boot, told us a lot about his family, and even tried to convince us that racism doesn't exist in Puerto Rico. Ok, cool dude. Having lived in a third world country before, this was a tolerable experience for me. To my friends, the tour was unbearable after the first hour. We finished an entire bottle of bug spray between the 6 of us and still got eaten alive. One of the girls in our group looked down and suddenly her leg was covered in fire ants. Every inch of the roof is covered in wasp nests - perhaps 50+ nests, and one of my group is deadly allergic to wasps. And you are right underneath for about 30min. Caramello was joking that they won't hurt you, except one time he got stung 50 times. He also dragged his hands through a giant spiderweb full of spiders and called it his friends. Really funny my dude. The bathroom is in a shack with a spigot, and if you look in any direction there are giant spiders staring at you. I went to the loo in Sandra's house - which I am surprised and appreciated that they let me - and there was a roach staring down at me from the ceiling, ants trailing everywhere, and the family's personal bar soap. Just bring hand sanitizer. Caramello talked about coffee preparation and made it a show for like 30min. Bro it's just drip in a chemex with a gooseneck... I feel like most people who would trek out here would know how to do this? The coffee is a light medium roast with strong pomelo notes. None were for sale, as they don't have enough for commercial production. The US & Maria both really fcked over Puerto Rico and it shows. While I enjoyed the tour enough, the main reason I wouldn't recommend coming here is THE FCKING DRIVE. No one told us that it was essentially a one lane road with 2-way traffic, low visibility, and constant switchbacks - you MUST honk as you come around curves. One side of the road is a steep drop off the mountain, the other a gulch trapping your backwheels because at many points, you HAVE to pull off to the side to let another car by. Did I mention there are serious potholes too? If you have a 4 wheel drive car and a driver comfortable with off roading, go for it. I personally should have been sedated for entire drive. I could not open my eyes at all on the way up or down. The locals drove by quite fast and seemed to give zero fcks. It was harrowing and would not recommend for the faint of heart. Good luck. read more

Coffee farm tour 2+ hours. Interesting facts, history of the coffee industry in Puerto Rico. The farm included an abundance of vegetation. Private owners share their farm/home with you. Carmelo, our guide and farm resident was informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. He also prepared coffees and treats for the group. The road to the farm was challenging but definitely doable and surely worth the journey. read more

We had a lovely morning at Sandra farms - myself, my husband and our 10yo. The tour started with an introduction to the history of coffee in general and Puerto Rico specifically. This was quite interesting although maybe a little too much, especially for my son. We really enjoyed "sorting" the seeds though, a couple more hands on activities like that at tis stage of the tour would be great. After that we took a little walk around and saw not only the coffee plants but many other fruit trees and interesting plants. My son loved this part of the tour. Also the location is beautiful and with the breezy weather it was just a pleasure to be spending time outside in this lovely place. We got lucky with the timing today and were able to see some beans being roasted which I understand might not happen during every tour: wow, what an incredible smell! Finally we got to taste the coffee on the beautiful verandah of the owners' home. This was not a rushed experience; we got to enjoy the beautiful view and relax up here while they prepared the coffee. What a treat! There was also delicious chocolate to taste which was nice because my son could keep being involved. Thank you for a lovely morning, for fitting us in last minute, and for sharing your passion and wealth of knowledge with us. In response to some other reviews: No, this is NOT a manicured "touristy" location but a real working farm where the owners live and it was a privilege to get an insight into their operations and relax on their property. Yes it's rustic but for me that was part of the charm. The road is a bit long and winding and a SUV is recommended but we've driven several much worse roads during our week here in PR. read more

Sandra Farms - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Adjuntas, Puerto Rico

Great coffee, great chocolate and a great tour! Reservations: we were able to get same-day reservations which was quite a relief! The drive there from San Juan was quite a bit, but make sure you download google maps and you should be just fine. Coffee farm tour: Dom was incredible with his wealth of knowledge! We walked a bit, saw the coffee making machinery and got to taste coffee and chocolate at the end as a reward. We got to meet Sandra, the owner who was just lovely. The coffee was just amazing, and the chocolates were even better! The tour is extremely reasonably priced, and I would definitely recommend a visit! The fact that they're doing something incredible for the coffee farm owners of Puerto Rico is definitely the cherry on the top. read more

Yes, the drive made me hold my breath a few times, but the view and the tour were the prize at the end. The farm is small and not flashy. If you are looking for a commercialized experience, go elsewhere. If you are looking for knowledge, a very personal, informative tour, a pour over coffee demonstration, and exposure to all of the things that grow on the beautiful island, this is your place. We have been all over the world and try at least one "tour" on every vacation. This was by far the least touristy tour and most memorable tour we have experienced. Carmelo, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the coffee process, and a delightful presenter. The tour is perfect for both coffee novices (my husband) and seasoned coffee drinkers (me), alike. read more

We have never done a tour like this and I enjoyed the entire experience. Our tour guide (Carmelo) was attentive, warm and welcoming. He noticed we were swatting flies and mosquitos and took the time to offer us bug spray to make sure we were comfortable. He was approachable and knowledgeable and gave us a thorough history of coffee as well as answered all of our questions. We also got a tour and information on the other growing vegetation as well as tastings of the fruits that were ripe if available. We finished the tour with a coffee tasting and preparation demo as well as a chocolate tasting. Everything is grown and prepared on site. It was fresh and delicious! I would recommend this tour if you are in the area! The road to the farm is narrow and steep but keep driving because it is well worth it! read more

We made the very long trek to Sandra's Coffee Farm, traveling over an extremely bad "road" the last few miles, hoping to enjoy a tour of the farm. Three couples waited around for 30 minutes for Israel, Sandra's husband to finally show up. While he's a very nice older gentleman, he's by far the worst tour guide we've ever encountered. Never finishing a thought, skipping from one subject to the next, leaving us scratching our heads and wondering, "what are you talking about"! After two hours of we finally got a taste of his coffee, paid our $25 per person fee and got out of there. Don't waste your time and money. read more

Off roading and coffee are two things I love and touring Sandra coffee farms fulfilled both passions. The last few miles of the road are still a shambles from hurricane maria, so expect a bumpy ride on a narrow path, but the ride is incredible...if you like that sort of thing. If you are the passenger, it might not be so enthralling. Once we got to the farm we were greeted by Carmelo, a very friendly and knowledgeable man that gave us the tour, the history of the farm and a few delicious cups of coffee. It was a great experience. read more

A fantastic experience to learn about how the true coffee growing process takes place in Puerto Rico, and how coffee from Mexico/DR is imported to make "Puerto Rican" coffee. Carmelo took his time explaining and answering questions in both Spanish and English. Drive up to farm is tricky but well worth it! read more

Rich chocolates that cause an ecstasy of flavor in your brain and coffee not to mention. The only coffee I've ever tried that is really premium. A thousand times recommended. Ricos chocolates que causan un extasis de sabor en tu cerebro y el café ni se diga. El único café que eh probado que verdaderamente es premium. Mil veces recomendado. read more

Beautiful farm. The excellent tour teaches about the challenges of coffee in Puerto Rico. I learned that coffee can be labeled "made in Puerto Rico" even if the beans were imported. The labeling doesn't create a way to distinguish high quality local coffee. I also learned about the process of making coffee, and roasting it. I have been on several coffee tours, and this was my favorite. The farm also grows parcha (passion fruit), papayas, bananas, and vegetables. The temperature is cooler at the farm than in San Juan, so it felt very pleasant. We stayed in a cute cabin at the top of a hill on the farm. Wonderful memories! read more

Absolutely amazing coffee experience. I took my sever year old daughter on this trip, just me and her. So great to learn about the history and culture of coffee on Puerto Rico.

What an adventure to get here, but the tour was terrific. Got to see the whole coffee making process, and understand how other plants and insects help promote the coffee plants' growth.

Our family had an amazing time visiting this working farm. Israel is the ultimate host. We got lessons in agriculture, business, economy, ecology! The kids enjoyed being so close to nature and he took the time to explain things to them at their level. The coffee and chocolate are delicious. The dog was a good sport with our toddler. The challenging drive was well worth it. Bravo! read more

Exactly what I was hoping it would be, a quaint family run farm. Our hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable. Appreciated the historical perspective as well as hearing about the hopes & plans for the future of coffee growers in Puerto Rico. Inspirational. The coffee (prepared by a very skilled barista) & the chocolates were amazing; some of the best I've ever had. The final leg of the road to get there was a bit unnerving but fun (so glad we were in a jeep). The views were incredible. Absolutely loved the experience. Highly recommend. read more

They're really doing something great for the people of Puerto Rico. That alone will have me coming back and ordering but they're also very loving and educated about what they do and they try to educate everyone. It's refreshing. Israel and Sandra are one of a kind people. read more

Maybe the best tour of any kind I have ever experienced! Sandra & Israel are the most gracious and lovely human beings. And the coffee and chocolate are amazing! This is one of the best things to do in PR (coming from someone who lives here). Call to reserve. read more

During my vacation to Puerto Rico with my boyfriend, we decided to drive up into the central mountains to check out some of the coffee farms. We didn't realize until we were on our way that most coffee farms were closed to visitors on Mondays. Long story short, we ended up asking around in our broken Spanish, and had someone who spoke no English hand us a flyer for Sandra Farms. And we are so glad they did! It was one of the highlights of our trip. You definitely need to call in advance to let them know you would like to come. The owners, Israel and Sandra, both speak English fluently. The drive to the farm is quite windy and confusing. There are no street signs! Israel did his best to guide us on the phone. But when we got lost Sandra drove out to find us to show us the way, and we ended up not being too far off track. We started with the tour, which was informative yet informal. It was just the 2 of us so we were able to ask a lot of questions to learn more about the process. Israel is very passionate about making high quality coffee! Then we headed up to their house for a coffee tasting! The coffee was amazing and they served us many other Puerto Rican treats as well. The property was so breathtakingly beautiful. They have an amazing view from their porch where we sat drinking the coffee. Both Israel and Sandra so openly welcomed us into their home. Great coffee and great company! We bought several bags of coffee and gave them to our coffee-loving family members as souvenirs - such a meaningful gift. read more

Israel and Sandra are amazing!!!! The BEST coffee in Puerto Rico!!! The chocolate also is perfect!!! I recommend this place for anyone who wants to try 100% puertorican coffee and at the same time hear great stories from the welcoming couple. read more

We had a great tour of the farm with Carmelo and enjoyed meeting Israel. He taught us how to make a true connoisseur cup of coffee. and any respectable coffee drinker should know the difference between the Robusta coffee beans sold in most retail coffee establishments and the Arabica coffee beans grown on Sandra Farms. We also were amazed at all the different crops grown in one place. Not easy to find, but worth the trip. read more
