Lourdes Orange County, Costa Rica-Cafetalera Herbazu Herba Manor

Costa Rica is the most stable and best coffee in Central America. Coffee production has a very long history. Coffee was exported to Britain as early as 1800 in the 19th century. In 1880, the concept of fine coffee had not yet been formed, and many high-altitude quality coffee (SHB) mixed with plain coffee were not particularly singled out. Due to the long and narrow terrain, great differences in latitude, altitude, soil, rainfall, temperature and other natural conditions have given rise to a wealth of coffee varieties, but in Costa Rica Robusta varieties are prohibited by law, only Arabica varieties are allowed, the common ones are Caturra Kaddura, Catuaikaduai, Villa sarchi, Ceisha, Bourbon bourbon, Villalobos. The most common way of processing 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 responded to the questions 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 processing system, so that it can be picked up and processed by the farm and bagged by others, and the farm can deal with its own coffee beans in the most suitable way. This makes the coffee the best and the farms get better profits, but it also means that small farms are responsible for the coffee they produce and handle.
