Introduction to the flavor and taste characteristics of the unique and strong flavor of Costa Rica Yersalo Coffee Manor.

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 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 GDP.

The research center, located about 30 kilometers northeast of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, belongs to the Costa Rican Coffee Association.

Coffee planting, breeding, quality inspection research institutions, in addition, it also has 10 hectares of experimental plots, planting a number of excellent varieties. Coffee is Costa Rica's main agricultural product, with an annual output of more than 2 million bags (60 kilograms) and foreign exchange earnings of 250 million US dollars, second only to pineapples and bananas.

All the coffee trees planted in Costa Rica are Arabica coffee trees. through improvement, the quality of coffee beans is better and more stable. in order to facilitate picking, coffee trees are kept at a height of about 2 meters through continuous pruning. The coffee that people eat is the taste of the seeds in the fruit that are brewed in water. After picking raw coffee beans, you must remove the peel, pulp, seed film and sun exposure before roasting the seeds (that is, coffee beans). Part of the process can be replaced by machines, and the speed of coffee production increases a lot, but there is no machine to do it. Artificial Costa Rican coffee must be used with 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.

This coffee producing place, coffee of all grades and types accounts for 1/3 of the global consumption and occupies a share in the global coffee market.

Place of Origin

Place of Origin

Although Costa Rica faces several times more natural disasters than other regions, it has enough acreage 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 mixed coffee. It 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 species 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.
