Workers at Elsa Coffee Manor, located in the western valley of Costa Rica, are no longer as busy as coffee harvest in May and June, and their work is focused on shelling and screening of raw beans before export. In recent years, the manor began to take the development route of "boutique coffee". Coffee raw beans have won prizes in COE boutique coffee competitions many times, and their coffee has enjoyed high popularity in the world.

Ricardo, owner of Elsa Manor, said that the estate has a 16-hectare coffee plantation and is equipped with raw coffee bean processing equipment, which can process coffee fruits from its own coffee farm and coffee growers in the surrounding area. Because it is located at 1700 meters above sea level, the quality and flavor of coffee beans are generally better than those grown in low altitude areas, and the manor only collects the fruits with the best maturity during the coffee harvest period and processes them carefully, so the vast majority of raw coffee beans can be rated as high-quality.

In Costa Rica, there are many small but boutique coffee estates like Elsa, whose idea is to constantly improve the quality of raw coffee beans and get out of their own way of "boutique coffee" in order to obtain the best economic benefits.

Coffee is an important export product of Costa Rica, which earns a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year and is vividly called the "golden seed". Costa Rica's unique natural conditions are very suitable for growing high-quality coffee varieties. Although the output is small, Costa Rican coffee always occupies an important position in the international boutique coffee market with its excellent quality.

The Colombian government attaches great importance to the development of the coffee industry. in addition to promulgating laws prohibiting the cultivation of coffee varieties with poor flavor, the Colombian government has also specially set up the National Coffee Administration to promote high-quality coffee varieties and help coffee farmers to improve their coffee planting and management technology. provide technical support for coffee bean quality identification. At the same time, some coffee gardens have opened up a unique "coffee culture tour" to promote the coffee industry through tourism.

The best agricultural technology of Costa Rican coffee is grown in eight major producing areas. In order to obtain high-quality coffee during the harvest season, coffee beans are harvested at the most mature time.

The Central Valley mountain soil produces excellent, highly acidic, mellow, fragrant and chocolate-flavored coffee.

The volcanic fertile soil of the western valley (West Valley) produces a well-scented and acidic coffee with a blended style with peach and almond flavors.

Tarazhu Mountain (Tarrazu) produces good aroma and slightly acidic coffee similar to orange or lemon acid. Nearly 95% of coffee beans are very hard beans (SHB).

The coffee in Sanhe District can be called SHB, which can produce a cup of coffee with a perfect balance in terms of fine, high acidity, good flavor and aroma.

Orosi is a soft and balanced coffee with good acidity, flavor and aroma. Eurasian coffee is grown in fertile areas of the volcanic zone.

CordBruce and Peris Sheridong are located in the Oolongka producing area, and the coffee produced is compatible with coffee from high altitude areas, so it is a good shooter. A cup of CordBruce coffee tastes with moderate acidity, aroma and flavor.

Peris Sheridong Coffee is characterized by its thick beans, excellent aroma, flavor and acidity.

Affected by the rainy climate, Duli Alba produces coffee with low acidity, good flavor and good aroma, which is grown on volcanic ash soil and impact soil.

Located in the province of Vanacaster in the northern part of Costa Rica, nearly 85% of the plants have forests, shade-controlled coffee is grown on fertile soil, and a cup of coffee produced by Vanacaster has a good balance in flavor, aroma and acidity.

The eight coffee producing areas in Costa Rica have a common understanding of quality, that is, mature coffee fruits are required to produce high-quality coffee, and every process of coffee production complies with the requirements of maintaining nature and the natural environment. Modern coffee crystal washing, processing no longer uses a large amount of water, and now circulating filters are used to purify the waste water from washing coffee beans into clean water. In addition, sundries from coffee production are recycled and converted into organic fertilizers, livestock feed and coffee bean dryer fuel. In coffee manufacturing, we all use the international evaluation and management standard ISO to certify employees' health, environmental management and coffee quality.
