In the past two days, the picture of Xi Jinping and his wife visiting Costa Rica and tasting coffee caused a stir in the domestic coffee industry. Coffee is an important export product of Costa Rica. It earns a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year, which is vividly called the "golden seed." let's learn about Costa Rican coffee boutique road!

At the COE boutique coffee competition in Costa Rica in early May, two raw coffee beans from Elsa Coffee Manor won the prize. Anyone familiar with coffee knows that COE is the most famous boutique coffee competition in the world, and the honor of coffee beans means that they can be sold at international online auctions for several times or even tens of times higher than the price of ordinary raw beans.

Workers at Elsa Coffee Manor, located in the western valley of Costa Rica, are no longer as busy as coffee harvest in May and June, and their work is focused on shelling and screening of raw beans before export. In recent years, the manor began to take the development route of "boutique coffee". Coffee raw beans have won prizes in COE boutique coffee competitions many times, and their coffee has enjoyed high popularity in the world.

Ricardo, owner of Elsa Manor, said that the estate has a 16-hectare coffee plantation and is equipped with raw coffee bean processing equipment, which can process coffee fruits from its own coffee farm and coffee growers in the surrounding area. Because it is located at 1700 meters above sea level, the quality and flavor of coffee beans are generally better than those grown in low altitude areas, and the manor only collects the fruits with the best maturity during the coffee harvest period and processes them carefully, so the vast majority of raw coffee beans can be rated as high-quality.

In Costa Rica, there are many small but boutique coffee estates like Elsa, whose idea is to constantly improve the quality of raw coffee beans and get out of their own way of "boutique coffee" in order to obtain the best economic benefits.

Coffee is an important export product of Costa Rica, which earns a lot of foreign exchange for the country every year and is vividly called the "golden seed". Costa Rica's unique natural conditions are very suitable for growing high-quality coffee varieties. Although the output is small, Costa Rican coffee always occupies an important position in the international boutique coffee market with its excellent quality.

Zhengfu attaches great importance to the development of the coffee industry. In addition to promulgating laws prohibiting the cultivation of coffee varieties with poor flavor, GE Coffee has specially set up the National Coffee Administration to promote high-quality coffee varieties, help coffee farmers improve their coffee planting management technology, and provide technical support for coffee bean quality identification. At the same time, some coffee gardens have opened up a unique "coffee culture tour" to promote the coffee industry through tourism.

In recent years, in order to better meet the needs of the international coffee market, some coffee growers focus on the current pursuit of green life and vigorously grow organic coffee. Although the manpower and capital investment is large, but once certified by the international organic coffee certification body, it can be sold at a higher price. In addition to organic certification, there are also some world-renowned professional coffee certifications such as Rainforest Coffee Certification, Shade Coffee Certification and International Fair Trade Certification, which provide channels for Costa Rican boutique coffee to expand the international coffee market.

Costa Rica has a history of growing coffee for 200 years, and the development of "boutique coffee" is a new situation that has gradually emerged in the past decade. Coffee agriculture in Costa Rica conforms to the trend of increasing demand for boutique coffee in the international coffee market, actively adjusts its own development, opens its popularity in the international boutique coffee market and occupies an important place.
