Description of White Honey Iron Bika Flavor and aroma of Panfilo Manor in Tarazu, Costa Rica

Costa Rican coffee cultivation was introduced by Cuba in 1779 and exported coffee for the first time in 1820. About 32000 existing coffee farmers have an average planting area of less than one hectare (10000 hectares).

Costa Rica has a population of 41 billion (2006) with a coffee planting area of 82500 hectares, annual production of 1.7 million bags (each bag of 60kgs), annual domestic consumption of 380000 bags, average annual national consumption of 380000 bags. 5.5kgs is higher than that of Japan (consumption 4kgs). Taiwanese are currently only slightly higher than 1kg. Costa Rica is the country where coffee was first introduced into Central America and has a long history. The coffee organization has a complete system from production to marketing. Because it is located in the Central American Gorge, there are many volcanoes, it has the natural advantages of sunshine and land, and the climate is reconciled by Pacific and Atlantic currents and sea breezes at the same time, the coffee produced has the characteristics of local micro-climate and soil conditions, in terms of quality and quantity, Costa Rican coffee has always been recognized by the world, and has been rated as one of the world-class high-quality coffee. Costa Rican coffee has been cultivated for two hundred years. It was first planted on the slopes of the Poas and Barva volcanoes, today known as the Central Valley (Central Valley). The seven main coffee producing areas are distributed from northwest to southeast, along with the inland central plateau. Costa Rican volcanic terrain with fertile volcanic ash, mild and suitable temperature and stable and abundant rainfall is one of the factors why coffee has become one of the main agricultural products in Colombia.

The Agrivid processing Plant (AGRIVID), made up of 14 families, has its own processing plant in the Tarazhu Valley. Maria Gomez, the only small farmer among its members, firmly believes that organic farming is necessary to maintain soil fertility and long-term farming. Even knowing that organic farming was a big challenge for coffee, Maria Gomez tried to convince other smallholder members of the benefits of composting as the main fertilizer. The Agrivid treatment plant has been in operation for at least 12 years and has been selling many organic vegetables since it first sold organic coffee. But the most striking thing is that the treatment plant is committed to the maintenance of the environment and the efforts to deal with the harvested coffee cherries with the least energy. The treatment plant uses only one bucket of water to handle coffee cherries for a whole day! This is really a record for the processing plant! More accurately, the Agrivid processing plant needs only 8 liters of water to handle 46 kilograms of bagged coffee cherries!
