Costa Rica's coffee industry started very early, and the first batch of coffee was exported to Colombia and Chile in ○ in 1882. In 1854, an importer and exporter, with the assistance of William Lyon, captain of the British merchant ship the Sovereign, successfully exported 100 pounds of coffee to London, which became popular and was praised by the British aristocracy as the "golden bean" from Costa Rica. Since then, coffee has become the main cash crop in Costa Rica and changed the humble status of the former Spanish colonies. Increasingly wealthy coffee farmers send their children to Britain for further study and return to their hometown to become doctors and engineers. Coffee farmers have a high status in Colombia. In 1897, the citizens of San Jose, the capital, witnessed the completion of the National Theater donated by coffee tycoons. Coffee wealth brings stability to Costa Rica's politics, economy and democracy, which is rare in Central American countries. In addition, Colombia has a law that only allows the planting of Arabica, and Robusta is a "contraband" in its territory, which is also the only initiative seen in the world.
