Costa Rica is the most stable and best coffee in Central America, and its production has a very long history. It was exported to Britain as early as 1800 in the 19th century. Due to the narrow terrain, latitude, altitude, soil, rainfall, temperature and other natural conditions vary greatly, resulting in a rich variety of varieties, but the Robusta variety is prohibited by law, only Arabica is allowed, the common sub-varieties are Caturra Kaddura, Catuai Kaduai, Villa sarchi, Geisha, Bourbon bourbon, Villalobos, is the country with the largest number of varieties. The more famous producing areas are Tarazhu, Sanshui River, Central Valley, etc.

The most common way of handling coffee beans in Central American countries is washing, but sun-dried beans and Miel Process, the most popular in recent years, are emerging in more and more countries, a trend that began in Costa Rica. Now Costa Rica has developed the coffee micro revolution of "micro mill". The main spirit of micro mill is to hope that every small farm can have its own system for handling beans, so that it can be collected, processed and bagged by the farm itself, without faking others' hands, and its own coffee beans can be processed in the most suitable way, so that the best quality can be achieved and the farm can get better profits. But it also means that small farms must be responsible for the coffee they produce and handle.
