A brief History of Coffee
Coffee was first introduced in 1720 according to CR official data. Baidu sources show that 1729 were imported from Cuba. In short, coffee has taken root in CR in the 18th century. It was first planted in the central valley (central valley).
In the 19th century, the government vigorously promoted coffee cultivation and proposed attractive policies such as "as long as the government is willing to cultivate coffee, the government will allocate land; if it has been cultivated for five years, it can become the owner of the land". As a result, CR became the first country in Central and South America to establish a complete coffee industry. Coffee has surpassed cocoa, tobacco and sucrose to become an important cash crop and a major source of finance.
In 1820, coffee was exported to Panama.
In 1832, coffee was exported to Chile, repackaged in Chile and sold to England.
In 1843, coffee was exported directly to the Kingdom of Britain.
In 1860, coffee was exported to the United States.
Coffee has an important impact on all aspects of CR's economic and social life, including the construction of the first railway line, the first university, the first national theater and so on.
In 2007, COE events began to be held.
Coffee planting
The weak acid fertile soil bred by volcano has obvious dry and wet seasons, high temperature and sufficient precipitation, which provides excellent conditions for coffee cultivation.
Coffee variety
100% Arabica. In 1989, it was rare to ban the cultivation of Robusta in the form of national legislation, which was then extended to boycott cartimor varieties. Most of them are caturra and catuai.
Coffee harvesting and processing
Pick by hand. The harvest time is from August to April of the following year, depending on the altitude of the producing area.
Traditional washing treatment.
Dry in the sun. It usually takes about 7 days to reduce the water content to 12%, which can be stored in the warehouse with shell beans. There is also machine drying, which can shorten the drying time to 24 hours. Machine drying is considered to be suspected of affecting flavor.
Coffee grade
With reference to the altitude of the producing area, it is graded according to the density of beans:
SHB,strictly hard bean, ≥ 3900 feet (approx. 1200m)
GHB,good hard bean, ≥ 3300 feet (approx. 1000m)
MHB,medium hard bean, medium bean ≥ 1600 feet (approx. 500m)
In general, altitude is positively correlated with density. In the high altitude area, the temperature is low, the coffee fruit growth rate is slow, the density is high; in the low altitude area, the coffee fruit growth rate is faster, the density is low.
Coffee producing area
At present, it is divided into 8 major producing areas, Brunca,Turrialba,Tres Rios,Orosi,Tarrazu,Central Valley,Western Valley,Guanacaste.
Tarrazu and Tres Rios are the most famous. It is called the Bordeaux of Costa Rica (Costa Rica's Bordeaux).

Of the 23 beans on the list in the 2014 Coe contest, 17 came from Tarasu.
