Costa Rica is geographically located in China and the United States, where there are scenic tropical rain forests, warm and cheerful people, and coffee famous for its excellent quality in the global market. With the combination of natural resources and the combination of agriculture and business culture, a "coffee tour" project has been launched in recent years, which has attracted a large number of tourists.

With a tropical climate, high altitude and fertile volcanic soil, Costa Rica has favorable conditions for growing coffee, so most coffee parks are located on high mountains. Enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way up the mountain, the road is lined with fence trees, which is a means of wind protection, in order to protect the coffee trees from the strong wind.

Interestingly, the taste of Costa Rican coffee varies with altitude. The higher the altitude, the stronger the sour taste of the coffee, and the lower the altitude, the more sour and bitter the coffee tastes. Boutique coffee SHB grows above 1500 meters above sea level, and the pozzolanic soil provides it with sufficient nutrients.

When we arrived at the park, the staff first showed you the cultivation environment of coffee seeds. For the first time, I saw real coffee beans growing on trees and arranged tightly. At first glance, they looked as if they were growing on branches. Completely different from the imagination, although I have seen the picture, I am still shocked by what I have seen with my own eyes. The seeds are green first, then red.

After the coffee beans are collected, they will be separated from the coffee fruit and washed, washed and dried in turn. The ox cart with coffee is painted with beautiful patterns. The staff explained to us in detail the function of each step. From planting to harvest to baking, there are tedious steps.

Here, Costa Rican coffee beans are often washed, and the beans are poured into a huge sink and appear in different colors, including red, yellow, or even white and black. Like a colorful palette, it is spectacular. Water washing not only ensures the taste of the coffee, but also gives the coffee a faint fruity aroma. There is also a very large drying ground in the park, where beans are spread all over the floor, just like soybeans.

Until the selection of boutique beans, shipped to the warehouse, see bundles of sacks, people can not help but surprised, thanks to developed transportation, it will be shipped to all parts of the world. After watching this whole process, I felt that the coffee bean had changed from a seed into a delicious drink all over the world.

The finished product of coffee comes from both natural and man-made functions, and the same batch of beans are sometimes slightly different, according to the grade, divided into different types, the price is naturally different. Sometimes, the length of baking time is different, the taste of coffee will be slightly different.

For Chinese people who are mainly based on tea culture, coffee and tea also have something in common. Tea needs to be fried many times, and coffee needs to be screened many times. There are many kinds of tea and coffee, and their tastes are different. Whether it is sour, sweet, or taste neutral, people can find a taste that suits them.

In addition to visiting the production process of Costa Rican coffee, the most important step is to taste the coffee. The restaurant offers different flavors of coffee, which visitors can taste for free. An entrance, suddenly feel mellow, boutique coffee really does not need to add any ingredients, has a unique aroma. The owner told us that international famous brands such as McDonald's and Starbucks would buy coffee beans from here. The lovely owner also told me secretly that the coffee beans introduced by Starbucks are often one level lower than McDonald's, and if you want to drink better quality coffee, you'd better go to McDonald's. Tourists taste their favorite coffee and can buy coffee beans here.
