COFFEE ORIGIN

We are talking about another excellent coffee plantation in a country in Central America - Costa Rica, where coffee cultivation and production is almost perfect.
25% of the coffee is sold through foreign exports. The plantations employ a large part of the population so coffee production is a major source of profit for the country, making it a unique research centre for agriculture.
Coffee began to be grown in Costa Rica in 1779 and quickly became the most important crop in the country. Proceeds from its sale were used to build the first railway, for example, linking states on the Atlantic coast, known as the "Atlantic Coast Railroad". Ferrocarril al Atlántico.
The San Jose National Theatre was also built and made famous with the proceeds from coffee production. It is also very important how careful the state is to ensure that the quality of coffee in Costa Rica is impeccable and of high quality, which is why, for example, it has banned the production of low-quality robusta coffee.
The unique taste of Costa Rican coffee is largely due to the volcanic soil and the Pacific Ocean waters. The tropical sun gives the coffee strength and the soft winds give the coffee a softness.
Tarrazu is located about 70 km south of the capital San Jose, surrounded by unspoilt nature and mountains. Coffee is a vital source of livelihood for the local people, and its cultivation and processing are a major focus of attention. The beans, which are cherry-sized red berries, are harvested several times during the ripening period. The coffee beans from San Rafael are sorted by a washing process, during which the beans are stripped of their skins, fermented and then dried. Great emphasis is placed on the final selection based on the quality and size of the beans. It is said that when you taste Costa Rican coffee, you taste its soul. The picturesque country proudly bears the nickname "La Pura Vida" - "The Pure Life". It lends this essence to its coffee, which reflects the purity of nature and the joy of life. After making filter coffee from the Tarrazú plantations, you can taste the real Costa Rica. Your mind will be enchanted by the mild acidity, while your soul will be caressed by the delicate caramel flavour. Enjoy the little things and taste a coffee full of life. Place of origin:
