Introduction to the characteristics of Costa Rican Fire Phoenix Manor Coffee Flavor

From 1821 to 1870, Costa Rica's government was mainly controlled by two families, J. R. Moras and J. M. Montealegre. The economy developed greatly, and coffee grew rapidly and became the main export product.

From 1855 to 1857, President Mora Bolas commanded Costa Rican troops to join forces with other Central American countries to crush the invasion of American adventurer W. Volcker and defend Central American independence.

From 1870 to 1882, T. Guardia Gutierrez imposed a dictatorship that weakened both families. Since the 1970s, British and American capital has infiltrated. American entrepreneur M. C. Keith signed a contract with the Costa Rican government to build a railway from Port Limon on the east coast to San Jose, and obtained a 99-year lease to occupy a large area of land for banana plantations.

In 1899, the United States took over Keith's industry and controlled the railway and banana production and export. In 1913, banana exports ranked first in the world.

In 1917 F. Tinoco Granados staged a coup d'état and established a military dictatorship. After Tinoco Granados stepped down, all previous rulers were controlled by American monopoly capital. The 1930s saw the rise of the workers 'movement.

The Communist Party of Costa Rica was founded in 1931 (renamed the People's Vanguard Party in 1943). The party led the banana plantation workers 'strike in 1934.

From 1940 to 1948, the governments of R. A. Calderón Guardia and T. Picardo were intimidated by the People's Democratic Movement and adopted some democratic reform measures under the impetus of the People's Pioneer Party.

In the 1948 general election, the Social Democratic leader J. M. H. Figueres Ferrer waged a civil war, seized power, established a governing council (see Costa Rican Civil War), and outlawed the Popular Vanguard Party.

In 1949 Figueres Ferrer handed over power to the elected leader of the National Alliance, O. Urat Blanco. Tarrazu in Costa Rica is one of the world's major coffee producing areas, producing light, pure coffee and pleasant aroma. Costa Rica's volcanic soils are fertile and well drained, making it the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas for commercial value. Coffee and bananas are the country's main exports. Coffee was introduced to Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729, and today its coffee industry is one of the most well-organized in the world, producing up to 1700 kilograms per hectare. Costa Rica has a population of 3.5 million, but coffee trees number 400 million, and coffee exports account for 25% of the country's total exports. Costa Rica also benefits from the Turrialba of the Central American Agricultural Research Institute (IAAC) in Tarazu, an important international research centre.

High-quality Costa Rican coffee is known as "extra-hard" and can be grown at altitudes above 1500 meters. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. Coffee beans are better at higher altitudes, not only because higher altitudes increase the acidity of coffee beans and thus enhance flavor, but also because lower night temperatures at higher altitudes cause trees to grow slowly, thus making coffee beans more flavorful. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, the growth of coffee trees is also very favorable. However, while there are many advantages to growing coffee at higher altitudes, the additional transportation costs associated with it must be taken into account, which may well make coffee production unprofitable. Costa Rican coffee has adopted new techniques to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify beans of irregular size
