The Tarazhu Coffee region of Costa Rica (Tarrazu) is one of the major coffee producing areas in the world, with a light and pure flavor and pleasant aroma. Costa Rica, with its fertile volcanic soil and good drainage, is the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas for commercial value. Coffee and bananas are the country's main exports.

Coffee was introduced into Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729 and today its coffee industry is one of the most well-organized industries in the world with a yield of 1700 kg per hectare. Costa Rica, with a population of only 3.5 million, has 400 million coffee trees, and coffee exports account for 25 per cent of the country's total exports. Costa Rica has also benefited from the establishment of the Central American Institute for Agricultural Research (Turrialba of the Central American Agricultural Research Institute, referred to as IAAC) in Tarasu, which is an important international research centre.

High-quality Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans", or SHB grade coffee beans, which can grow at an altitude of more than 1500 meters. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee beans, not only because the higher altitude can increase the acidity of the coffee beans and thus increase the flavor, but also because the night temperature at the higher altitude is lower, which can make the trees grow slowly, thus making the coffee beans have a stronger flavor.

In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, while there are many advantages to growing coffee at higher elevations, the resulting additional transport costs must be taken into account, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size.

Tarazu, Costa Rica, located in the south of the country's capital, San Jos é, is one of the most valued coffee growers in the country. La Minita Tarrazu coffee is a famous local product, but its production is limited, about 72600 kilograms a year. It is grown on a piece of land called La Minita, which is owned by the last three generations of the McAlpine family in the UK. In fact, this land can produce more than 450 tons of coffee a year. But Tarasu Latin America coffee is grown without artificial fertilizers or insecticides, and its harvesting and selection are done by hand, in order to avoid some damage to coffee beans caused by air spray selection.

Other coffees worth mentioning are Juan Vinas,PR, H.Tournon, Windmill,SHB, Monte bello and Ssnta Rosa. Fine coffee is generally grown in Geredia and the central canyon. Another striking type of coffee is Sarchi (one of the five towns that represent Costa Rica's Coffee Road), which grows on the slopes of the Poas Volcano volcano, 53km from San Jose. Saatchi, founded in 1949, has a land area of 30770 hectares and grows sugar cane and coffee. The area is also famous for its handicrafts, attracting tourists from all over the world.

Almost all the coffee trees planted in Central American countries are Arabica. Costa Rica introduced coffee from Cuba in 1779 and successfully exported coffee in 1820 after more than 40 years.

Coffee is mainly grown in two major mountainous areas. The first area is located in Tarasu Tarrazu and Dota Tarrazu in the central mountains. Because Costa Rica faces the Pacific Ocean on the left and the Atlantic Ocean on the right, coffee trees are also planted on high mountains near the coast. The second area is Tres Rios, the highland around the capital San Jose, which is about 4000 feet above sea level and is known as Bella Vista and La Magnolia.
