Qianjie-brief introduction of Costa Rican Coffee

Costa Rica

Costa Rica is located in Central America, the climate and soil conditions are very suitable for coffee growth, with a history of two hundred years of coffee cultivation. In recent years, Costa Rica conforms to the market trend and makes great efforts to develop high-quality coffee. Although the output is small, but with its excellent quality, Costa Rican coffee with pure taste and rich aroma has occupied an important position in the international boutique coffee market.

Because it is located in the Central American Gorge, the territory is full of volcanoes and has the natural advantages of sunshine and land, and the climate is reconciled by Pacific and Atlantic currents and sea breezes at the same time, the coffee produced has the characteristics of the local micro-climate. Because of the geographical characteristics, Costa Rica has changed the way of handling beans. Because of the lack of water resources, Costa Rica treats coffee beans with honey treatment, which is also the first place to use honey treatment. Honey treatment, called HoneyProcess or Miel Process, is called Honey Coffee.

Honey treatment refers to the process of making raw beans with mucous membrane for sun-drying. After the outer pulp of the coffee bean is removed, there will be a layer of sticky jelly. The traditional washing method washes it away with clean water, but this direct drying method has been born because of the limitations of water resources in some high-altitude areas. The "honey-treated coffee" with low acidity, high complexity and strong sweet flavor has become the target of competition in the coffee industry in recent years. Honey treatment keeps the coffee clean after washing, and although the brightness of the coffee decreases, it increases the sweetness and caramel taste.

The advantage of honey treatment is that it can best preserve the original sweet flavor of coffee ripe fruit, making coffee show light and elegant black sugar flavor and drupe flavor, while berry flavor can also set off the aroma of red wine, the flavor can be said to be very unique. The biggest feature is its amazing sweetness. Different kinds of sweetness such as peach, apple, plum, citrus and caramel can be enriched by black honey treatment.

High-quality Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans". This kind of coffee can grow above 1500 meters above sea level, and it is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees due to sufficient rainfall caused by the drop in high altitude. As long as the varieties are Kaddura, Kaduai, Rosa, etc.
