National emblem of Costa Rica

National emblem of Costa Rica

A blue belt with the words "Central America" fluttered at the end, expressing Costa Ricans' remembrance of the original Union, and below was a white ribbon with green branches and the name of the Republic. The corn kernels on both sides of the national emblem are round and golden, indicating that the agriculture of this plateau country is dominated by corn cultivation. The three reddish-brown volcanic peaks represent the Barbaa, Ilasu and Boas mountains between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean, with 3/4 of Costa Rica's coffee-producing population living on the flowering green plateau. The seven white five-pointed stars in the blue sky represent the seven existing provinces of Costa Rica. There is an ancient white sailboat in the close range of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean behind the mountains, and the dynamics of the voyage bring out Costa Rica's prosperous maritime trade. A rising sun is rising on the sea, and the dawn of the new century shines on the bright future of this country. [16]

National flower

Cateran-(Orchidaceae) Cartland is a horticultural hybrid, which is one of the most famous orchids in the world. The pseudobulb is clavate or cylindrical, with 1 ~ 3 leaves at the top; the leaves are thick and hard, the midvein is concave; the flowers are single or several, born at the top of the pseudobulb, and the flowers are large and beautiful, bright and rich in color. Native to tropical America, it is the national flower of Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and other countries. There are more than thousands of varieties. The colors are white, yellow, green, red and purple and so on. Propagation should be done by plant division, tissue culture or aseptic sowing. Sex likes warmth, moisture and plenty of light. Potted plants such as fern roots, moss and bark are usually used. The growth period requires high air humidity, proper fertilization and ventilation. Tarrazu in Costa Rica is one of the major coffee producers 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. Coffee was introduced into Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729. Today, its coffee industry is one of the well-organized industries in the world, with a yield of 1700 kg per hectare. Costa Rica, with a population of only 3.5 million, has 400 million coffee trees, and coffee exports account for 25 per cent of the country's total exports. Costa Rica has also benefited from the establishment of the Central American Institute for Agricultural Research (TurrialbaoftheCentralAmericanAgriculturalResearchInstitute, referred to as IAAC) in Tarasu, which is an important international research centre.

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 Costa Rican coffee industry has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size, the most famous of which is Mountain Costa Rican coffee, which tastes mellow and neutral. It can be boiled directly, or mixed with other kinds of coffee beans to form a comprehensive coffee, is also a good choice.

Other kinds of Brazilian coffee, such as Rio and Parana, can be produced in large quantities because they do not require too much care. Although the taste is rough, it is a kind of high-quality and inexpensive coffee, which has its own standards because it is distributed all over the country and varies in quality (NO.2~NO.8 according to the number of sundries, NO.13~NO.19 according to the size of beans, and six grades according to taste). Almost all Arabica varieties are of good quality and stable in price. The most famous one is Costa Rica, which has been a necessity of blended coffee and is familiar to the public since ancient times.
