Introduction to the Goddess Manor in Costa Rica Coffee Manor

Costa Rica accounts for only 0.03% of the world's land area, but with nearly 4% of the world's species, Costa Rica is one of the countries with the richest biological species in the world. 26% of the land area is a national park or nature reserve, including 11 wetlands, 2 biological reserves and 3 World Natural Heritage sites. The national forest coverage rate is 52%.

Natural resources include iron, manganese, mercury, bauxite, gold and silver, among which the reserves of bauxite, iron and coal reach 150 million tons, 400 million tons and 50 million tons respectively. The recent situation is mainly distributed in the central gold belt area of the northwestern Tilaran Cordillera Mountains. Calcium carbonate is distributed in the northwest and has high taste. The purity of calcium carbonate extracted from limestone can reach 99.5%. Costa Rica attaches great importance to environmental protection and the exploitation of natural resources is strictly restricted.

Oil is completely dependent on imports, mainly from Colombia and other countries, and is monopolized by the National Oil Company (RECOPE), with an average annual import of 3 million tons of crude oil. Since 2012, the national oil company has suspended crude oil refining production due to aging facilities, and all fuel oil has been imported instead. In 2013, Costa Rica imported 19.3 million barrels of oil, with imports of US $2.3 billion, accounting for 5.5 per cent of the Costa Rican coffee market in GDP:

Coffee exports account for 25% of Costa Rica's total exports. Costa Rica has also benefited from the establishment of the Central American Institute for Agricultural Research (TurrialbaoftheCentralAmericanAgriculturalResearchlnstitute, referred to as IAAC) in Tarasu, which is an important international research centre.

Costa Rica's coffee industry, originally controlled by the Costa Rican Coffee Industry Company (InstitutodelCafedeCostaRica, ICAFE), has been taken over by the official Coffee Committee (OficinadelCafe). Among the exported coffee, those products that are considered to be of substandard quality are colored with blue vegetable dyes and then transferred back to China for sale. Coffee consumed domestically (dyed blue or last dyed) accounts for about 10% of total production, and local per capita coffee consumption is twice that of Italy or the United States.

In addition, while Costa Rica has many advantages in growing coffee at higher elevations, the resulting additional transport costs must be taken into account, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. Costa Rica's coffee industry has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify irregular-sized coffee beans. Costa Rica has many excellent producing areas, while Costa Rican high-quality producing areas have a common understanding of quality, that is, the use of mature coffee fruits to ensure the production of high-quality coffee.

Generally speaking, a large amount of water is used in the post-processing of the picked coffee fruit, but the advanced production equipment in Costa Rica saves the use of water resources to the greatest extent, and a circulating filter is used to treat the waste water from washing coffee beans. let the waste water be purified into clean water to prevent pollution of the local soil environment.

After peeling, the peel and pulp of the coffee fruit are recovered as feed for livestock, or converted into organic fertilizer, as well as coffee bean dryer fuel. It can be said that in every process of coffee production, Costa Rica complies with the requirements of maintaining the natural environment.
