Treatment of Yellow Honey on Pena Farm in Tara Zupena, Costa Rica

Costa Rica is the most stable and best coffee in Central America, coffee production has a very long history, as early as the 19th century 1800 coffee has been exported to the United Kingdom. In 1880, the concept of fine coffee had not yet been formed, and many high-altitude high-quality coffee (SHB) mixed with flat coffee were not particularly singled out. Due to long and narrow terrain factors resulting in great differences in latitude, altitude, soil, rainfall, temperature and other natural conditions gave rise to a wealth of coffee varieties, but in Costa Rica Robusta varieties are prohibited by law, only Arabica varieties are allowed. Common are Caturra Kaddura, Catuai Kaduai, Villa sarchi, Ceisha, Bourbon bourbon, Villalobos. The most common way of handling coffee beans in Central American countries is washing, but there are more and more countries with sun-dried beans and Miel Process, which is the most popular in recent years. This trend began in Costa Rica.

Now Costa Rica has responded to the needs of foreign coffee buyers and developed the coffee revolution of "micro mill". The main spirit of micro mill is that every small farm in Costa Rica can have its own micro-processing system, so that it can be received and processed from the coffee and bagged by the farm itself. Farms can dispose of their own coffee beans in the simplest, fastest and cheapest way, so that the coffee is of the best quality and the farm is more profitable, but it also means that small farms are responsible for the coffee they produce and handle.

In Costa Rica, honey treatment and sun-dried beans are derived from small farms with certain difficulties. Pena Pena Farm is located in the Tarazu Valley, about 70 kilometers southwest of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. This is a paradise area with rich green vegetation and clear rivers. Coffee beans are harvested once a year, and the harvest begins in December and lasts until March of the following year, with an average annual rainfall of 2900 mm and an average temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.
