Costa Rican coffee has a unique flavor due to its high art and daring coffee technology.

Costa Rica mostly uses washing treatment, and in recent years there has also been an alternative half-sun treatment (Miel) or Honey Coffee, which can be translated as "as sweet as honey" treatment. The coffee that Costa Rica claims to be "as sweet as honey" is Honey Coffee on the sack, which is quite eye-catching. It has improved the Brazilian half-sun method to increase sweetness, focusing on keeping the pectin layer glued to the pods as completely as possible, removing the peel and moving the sticky pods to an outdoor viaduct, similar to Kenyad's practice, so as not to absorb the odor and moisture of the land, then expose to the sun and air-dry for about a week or two. During this period, you have to turn the pods every hour to make them evenly dry, so that the beans can fully absorb the fruit aroma and sugar essence of the thick pectin layer, and put them into a wooden container to ripen after dehydration. It takes a lot of work, but the fruit of "honey wine" tastes as sweet as honey. The disadvantage is that the risk of this method is very high, and it is easy to mildew and rot when the weather is too wet. Costa Rica is not as dry as it is, but it dares to use the treatment of exposure for a long time, which makes people feel cold sweat, but it also reflects Costa Rican coffee craftsmanship.

High-quality Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans". This kind of coffee can grow above 1500 meters above sea level. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee beans, 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 lower, which can make the trees grow slowly, thus making the coffee beans have a stronger flavor. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, while there are many advantages to growing coffee at higher elevations, the resulting additional transport costs must be taken into account, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size.

Tarrazu in Costa Rica is one of the major coffee producing areas in the world. The coffee produced is light and pure in flavor and pleasant in aroma. Costa Rica, with its fertile volcanic soil and good drainage, is the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas for commercial value. Coffee and bananas are the country's main exports.
