Brief introduction of Qianjie-American Coffee producing area in Tarazhu, Costa Rica

Costa Rica is located in the canyon of Central America and Latin America, bordering Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the south, the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It has a natural ecological environment conducive to the growth of coffee, and the higher the elevation, the better. 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 low, the trees can grow slowly, thus making the flavor of the coffee beans more rich. in addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. There are many high-altitude volcanoes in the territory, which provide mineral-rich soil for coffee cultivation.

Well-known representative coffee: Tarrazu

Like other Central American countries, coffee from Arabica is widely grown in Costa Rica. Its coffee is mainly grown in two high areas, one is the high area near the capital San Jose, and the other is the Tarrazu mountains southeast of San Jose. Because it is also grown at high altitude, Costa Rican coffee also has a strong sour taste, and because the mountain temperature is lower, coffee trees grow more slowly, with a more complex and not monotonous taste. The coffee produced in Tarasu is also one of the favorite coffees because of its special flavor of fruit and some chocolate or stone fruit.

1200-1700 meters above sea level, from December to March in the producing area, with high acidity, hard and full bean body and rich aroma, this area is a world-famous producing area, and its main feature is that the high seafood area creates an incomparable perfect taste.

Located in the south of the country's capital, San Jos é, Tarasu is one of the most valued coffee growers in the country. La MinitaTarrazu coffee is a famous local product, but it produces a limited amount of coffee, about 72600 kilograms a year. It is grown on a piece of land called LaMinita, owned by the last three generations of the McAlpine family in England, and owns the LaMinita estate in Tarazu, which produces just 160000 pounds a year. 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 JuanVinas,PR, H.Tournon, Windmill,SHB, Montebello and SsntaRosa. Fine coffee is generally grown in Geredia and the central canyon.
