The Vera Satchi coffee bean from Yelsa processing plant ranked third in Costa Rica COE.

Costa Rica can be said to be a model for the production of micro-batches of high-quality coffee raw beans, and farmers' living standards are much higher than those in other coffee-producing regions. About a decade ago, small-scale coffee farmers in Costa Rica started a revolution in microprocessing plants to set up their own processing plants to distinguish them from mass-produced commercial beans, to improve the quality and identification of raw coffee beans, and to obtain good selling prices.

The highly technical nature of Costa Rican farmers gives them a great advantage in producing better coffee. They have been tested with different varieties, such as SL-28, Rosa / Geisha, Caturra, Typica. Most coffee farms have high tree density, are fully fertilized, and give farmers higher returns all the year round, and their coffee trees are constantly being renewed, as well. Finally, they choose cherry blossoms that are very good and perfect in some cases.

The well-known Yelsa processing plant can already be regarded as a medium-sized processing plant by local Costa Rican standards. in addition to handling coffee produced by its own farm Santa Lucia, the Yelsa processing plant also handles coffee cherries produced by high-quality small farmers in micro-producing areas such as West Valley Lourdes de Naranjo and Llano Bonito de Naranjo. Yelsa treatment plant was established in 2004, due to the operator's persistence, the quality improvement is very fast, become famous is also very fast, 2007 won the third place in Costa Rica COE.
