Exploring Hacienda Iluminada!
What is the story of Hacienda Iluminada?
Hacienda Iluminada is our beautiful coffee farm in Maricao, Puerto Rico. When we first found Hacienda Iluminada, it was abandoned and its coffee trees were dying. It was time to get some work done and save those coffee trees so they could flourish again and see their beautiful coffee cherries grow. The coffee trees quickly began to flourish once again months later when our farmers gave them the necessary attention.
Unfortunately, after Hurricane Maria hit, things became a little hard and we lost an important part of our coffee trees! BUT, of course, we have the best farmers, that helped us get back on track and make our amazing farm come back to life. Hacienda Iluminada can be described as a place of resilience. That shows us that when we have hope and put in the hard work, amazing things can happen even when life gets too hard!
What is Hacienda Iluminada NOW & what you should expect?
At 787 Coffee, we love to invite our caffeinated humans to visit the farm whenever they have the opportunity to go to Puerto Rico or if they are in the area because it's an amazing experience where you can learn, connect, and relax.
We provide coffee tours at Hacienda Illuminada, every Saturday our doors are open for every human!
Coffee tours take place every Saturday at 11:00 am and they last two hours. During these two hours, you will connect, explore, and learn about our coffee. You might think two hours may seem like a long time to learn about coffee, but you will experience much more than just coffee. You will get to see animals that want to play with you and trees that you may not have ever seen before! Most importantly, our coffee, how long it takes to bloom, how we select the coffee cherries, who toasts the coffee, and why it matters to be sustainable!
We hand-pick our coffee, did you know that? We don't have any kind of machinery. This is to, first, protect the environment and, second, to experience the true flavor of our coffee. Coffee can lose its delicious flavor if it is not taken care of correctly
In the next three years, we want to convert our coffee plantation to 100% agroforestry. This is the reason we practice sustainable actions in our coffee shops and on the farm so we can contribute to the planet.
It's important that we look after our world in different sustainable ways to continue enjoying the beautiful things nature gives to us, including Maricao’s coffee. The coffee that our humans take with them to different parts of the world, Mexico, Austria, Venezuela, and even Germany!
We are happy to be part of all of your coffee gifts, with Puerto Rican coffee beans that were carefully taken care of at our farm

All of a sudden the world stops and you breathe in nature while you watch the birds flying. You might even realize that moments like these are what counts in life and that life isn't all that stressful!

#787coffee
Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a farm. We own Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico — and Supremo is the coffee it was built for.
Award-winning: Supremo carries the same specialty quality that earned 787 Coffee #3 Best Coffee Shop in New York City and #32 in North America — The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops, 2026.
Supremo is our flagship single-origin specialty coffee: a smooth medium roast of specialty-grade Arabica, grown at 3,000 feet in the mountains of Maricao and honey-processed for natural sweetness and depth. Tasting notes: dark chocolate, buttery caramel, citrus, and honey.
Honey-processed means the sweet mucilage is left on the bean as it sun-dries at the farm, so the sugars absorb right into the coffee — you taste it in every cup. Single-origin means every bean comes from one farm, with full traceability. No blending. No mystery origin.
Roasted to order in small batches — under 15 minutes, never sitting in a warehouse. And every bag plants one coffee tree at Micro Lot 2026, Hacienda Iluminada.
Brew it your way — espresso, pour-over, or drip. Available whole bean or ground.
Make it a subscription and save 10% — never run out of your daily cup. And if you love Supremo, taste it in our limited-edition Soccer & Coffee fútbol-season bag.
Grown with care. Roasted with purpose. Fueled by passion. For Humans, By Humans.
ONE BAG. ONE TREE.
It's fútbol season — try our limited-edition Soccer & Coffee bag, the same farm-grown Supremo roast in collectible hand-painted art.
