Although Costa Rica faces natural disasters several times higher than other regions, its arable area is enough to compensate.

There are many kinds of coffee here, but its industrial policy is large and cheap, so there are not many excellent coffee, but it is a good choice to mix other coffees.

Due to its distribution in all parts of the country, the solid quality varies, and there are its own standards (NO.2~NO.8 according to the number of impurities, NO.13~NO.19 according to the size of beans, divided into six grades according to taste). Almost all Arabica varieties are of good quality and stable prices, the most famous being Costa Rica, which has been a necessity for blended coffee since ancient times and is familiar to the public.

Excellent Costa Rican coffee is known as "extra hard beans" and can grow at altitudes above 1500 meters. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. The higher the altitude, the better the beans, not only because higher altitudes increase the acidity of the beans and thus enhance the flavor, but also because the lower night temperatures at higher altitudes can slow down the growth of trees and thus enhance the flavor of the beans. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, coffee tree growth is very favorable.

Costa Rican coffee is all Arabica beans, washed method, its style is bright, full of aroma, clear as wind chimes in the breeze, and mild acid, sweet quite good. Because of the sweet taste, even if the coffee is cold, it is also very good to drink, which is a major feature of Costa Rica coffee.
