Geographical environment

Location domain

Costa Rica is located in the Central American isthmus, belonging to North America, latitude 10 °north, longitude 84 °west. It is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the east and the North Pacific Ocean to the west, with a coastline of 1290 km (212km on the east coast and 1016 km on the west coast). Costa Rica borders Nicaragua in the north (309 km long border) and Panama (639 km long border) south-southeast. There are a total of 51100 square kilometers, including 50660 square kilometers of territory and 440 square kilometers of territorial sea, which is slightly smaller than West Virginia in the United States and equivalent to Ireland. [3]

Topography

The topography of Costa Rica is that the coast is surrounded by plains, while the middle is cut off by rugged mountains. The country declared 200 nautical miles in its exclusive economic zone and 12 nautical miles in its territorial sea. The climate belongs to the tropics and subtropics, and some of them are new tropics. [3]

Climate

The climatic conditions in Costa Rica are very different, completely subverting the classification of the four seasons of the year, there are only two seasons, the rainy season from April to December, and the dry season from the end of December to April of the following year, also known as summer. The annual average temperature in San Jose, the capital, ranges from 15 ℃ to 26 ℃, while the temperature in the coastal areas is relatively high, with a night average temperature of 21 ℃ and a daily average temperature of 30 ℃ in the Caribbean.

Natural resources editor

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 development of natural resources is strictly restricted. coffee trees planted in Costa Rica are grown in Arabica, and the quality of coffee beans is better and more stable through improvement; in order to facilitate picking, coffee trees are maintained at a height of about 2 meters through continuous pruning; the coffee that people eat is the flavor released by the seeds in the fruit soaked in water. After picking raw coffee beans, it is necessary to remove the peel, pulp, seed film and sun exposure before the seeds (that is, coffee beans) can be roasted. Now part of the process can be replaced by machines, and the speed of coffee production has increased a lot. However, there is no machine to do coffee picking, so you must use manual labor.

Costa Rican Coffee-introduction

Costa Rican coffee has full particles, ideal acidity and unique strong flavor.

Costa Rica's coffee industry, originally controlled by the Costa Rican Coffee Industry Company (ICAFE), has been taken over by the official Coffee Committee (Oficinale Cafe). 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 undyed) accounts for about 10% of total production, and local per capita coffee consumption is twice that of Italy or the United States.

Brazilian coffee fruit, a coffee producer, accounts for 1/3 of the world's coffee consumption and occupies a place in the global coffee market, although Costa Rica faces several times more natural disasters than other regions. but its acreage is enough to make up for it.

There are many kinds of coffee here, but its industrial policy is large and cheap, so there is not much premium coffee, but it is a good choice for mixing other coffees.

One of the most famous is Mountain Costa Rica Coffee, which tastes mellow and neutral. It can be boiled directly or mixed with other kinds of coffee beans to form a comprehensive coffee. It is also a good choice.
