Costa Rica

Costa Rican coffee cultivation was introduced from Cuba in 1779 and exported for the first time in 1820. There are about 32000 coffee farmers, with an average planting area of less than one hectare (10000 tons) per farmer. Costa Rican population 41 billion (2006), 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 consumption of 5.5kgs per national. It is higher than Japan (consumption of 4kgs), and Taiwanese are currently only slightly higher than 1kg on average. 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 reasons why coffee has become one of the main agricultural products in Costa Rica. The seven major producing areas are: Tarrzu, Tres Rios, Orosi, Central Valley, West Valley, Turrialba and Brunca.

Costa Rica has a long history of cultivating coffee, but in the past 10 years, the new method of "dry" treatment has become fashionable, collectively known as "honey treatment", which uses the scraper to adjust the scraping degree of the pulp. The output shows a "honey feeling" from light to dark (white, yellow-red-white, yellow-red-black) with a thick sense of acidity and complex aroma. Each has its own depth and advantages.
