A trip to Coffee (XIX) Costa Rica

The country has no army and only a small number of policemen; here are the lucky few in Central America who have not experienced the hardships of war; there are tropical rainforests in Jurassic Park; there are beautiful tropical scenery; there are warm and cheerful people here. Costa Rica is so special, of course, there is also the pearl of the coffee world-Costa Rican coffee.

Costa Rican coffee was introduced by Cuba in 1729. Costa Rican coffee cultivation now has the most complete government assistance system in the world. Although Costa Rica is the second largest banana exporter in the world, coffee is the second major crop in the country's agriculture. Coffee obviously brings more benefits than bananas.

Costa Rican coffee is definitely a boutique that grew up in a superior environment. There are no fluctuations in the economic environment brought about by the war, with the strong support of the government, there is a climate and altitude suitable for the growth of boutique coffee (Costa Rica SHB grows in about 1500 meters above sea level), volcanic ash soil provides nutrients for coffee growth, and there are enthusiastic and serious coffee producers. Various favorable conditions make Costa Rican coffee very popular with coffee drinkers. One of the most eye-catching is the Costa Rican Tara beads (Tarrazu) produced in the Tarazu region near the capital San Jose. This kind of coffee is famous for its excellent quality and rich and balanced taste. Even the coffee from Laminita Farm in the region is thought to have a flavor similar to Blue Mountain coffee.

Costa Rica is geographically located in Central America and closer to South America. Costa Rican coffee is also transitional and comprehensive. Unlike the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, Costa Rican coffee is very mild.

A unique aroma

Costa Rican coffee has a unique aroma, similar to flower aroma and faint fruit aroma, but the feeling is not turbid, but fresh and full-bodied, as if it can infiltrate the whole body through the skin. It is reminiscent of the beauty and tranquility of Costa Rica and the enthusiasm and cheerfulness of Costa Ricans.

Beautiful acidity and rich taste

Costa Rican coffee has obvious acidity, acidity is strong, but not irritating and divergent, the whole mouth will be filled with this fruit-like sweet and sour aroma. The bitterness is not very obvious, but it has a beautiful return. There is no astringent taste, the overall taste is very pure and balanced, making people feel very soft. If you wait for it to be a little cooler and then taste it, the sour taste will become more obvious, and the bitter feeling will become more intense, but the purity and balance will still be so good.

Maybe coffee really has a feeling. Growing up in such a beautiful country, coffee also brings out such a gentle and quiet temperament. No matter what kind of mood, a cup of Costa Rican coffee will bring you the most gentle experience. Such a good coffee is worth waiting for.
