Although Costa Rica has obtained the recognition of coffee gluttons through honey treatment of coffee beans, it is also inseparable from Costa Rica's superior geographical and climatic conditions and the choice of Arabica coffee varieties. Costa Rica's premium coffee beans are called "very hard beans"(SHB), and there are hard beans (HB) and slightly hard beans (SH) in descending order of quality, which is also how it is graded. Hard beans grow at altitudes above 1500 meters, and altitude always represents the quality of coffee, and high altitude means better quality. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, the growth of coffee trees is very beneficial; and the high altitude night temperature is low, resulting in slow growth of trees, so that coffee fruit better absorb more nutrients, coffee flavor is also richer.

Kaduai is an artificial hybrid of Kadura and Mondu Novo. Kaduai has a relatively good ability to resist natural disasters, especially wind and rain.

Kaduai trees are relatively low, and compared to other coffee trees, kaduai fruits grow stronger and are difficult to pick. The fruit is red and yellow. So far, yellow fruits have not been found to taste better than red fruits. On the contrary, some people found in the cup test that although the acidity of some yellow fruit processed coffee is good, the coffee taste is worse than that of red fruit.

Kaduai was cultivated in Brazil and is now commonly cultivated in Central America.

The most famous large plantation area in the country is Tarrazu, near the capital San Jose. Tara bead production area has the highest average latitude, excellent climate and soil conditions, making Tara bead the most famous and generally recognized as the best coffee production area in Costa Rica. Tres Rios is a famous small production area in Tara bead production area. The most famous Costa Rican single-estate coffee in the world of fine coffee is La Minita Estate, which produces only 160,000 pounds a year.

Among them, there are many excellent independent estates, all of which are carefully cultivating more finely washed and honey-treated coffee beans.
