Introduction of varieties and flavors of Costa Rican Coffee

The flavor of Costa Rica has always been steady, without the sharpness of Guatemala, it is quite mild and supple, sour, sweet and bitter chocolate, inclusive and well-balanced, is the classic flavor of gourmet coffee. The seven major coffee producing areas are as follows: Durieba Valley (northeast of the capital San Jose), Central Valley (northwest of San Jose), Western Valley (west of the capital), Sanhe District (east side of the capital), Blanca (southeast of the capital), Orosi (north of the capital), Tarazu (south of the capital). Among them, the Central Valley, Tarazhu and Sanhe producing areas are the most famous. In principle, the quality of coffee sloping towards the Pacific is better than that facing the Atlantic. In the 2007 Costa Rica Cup Test Competition, the champion farm Serobado was located in the Tarazu producing area south of San Jose, but the Central Valley also performed well, with two or four from the city of Naranhe, where Sanhe District seemed to be left out.

The strict management of Laminita Farm in Tarazhu production area has established a world-class reputation and is popular in European and American markets for most of the century. It can be called a world-famous coffee farm. Lamini Tower means "small gold mine". Before the Spanish colonization, the Indians used to dig gold in the present farm location, which can be described as a blessed land. Raminita produces about 1 million pounds of coffee beans a year, and after selection to remove defects (more than 70% eliminated), only 290000 pounds of high-end products are sold to the boutique market, which is not a false name. The coffee of Gai Manor is famous for its sour aromas of apple and citrus, rich milk and truffle, and delicate taste of silk, about 1200-1700 meters above sea level. In addition, Sanhe District is also a famous producing area. The Yilazhu volcano and rivers not far to the east of the capital form an excellent microclimate zone, but in recent years, the urban area has gradually extended to the suburbs, and agricultural land has been sold to developers, resulting in a sharp decline in coffee production in Sanhe area. the output is almost half of which is contracted by Starbucks, and it is not easy for the industry to buy. Aquez Grass, a well-known farm in this area, has persisted since 1857. It has a long history, bright acidity, soft acidity, nuts, flower-scented taffy, sweet and charming, which are the characteristics of coffee in this area.
