Flavor and taste characteristics of Costa Rican coffee an introduction to the producing areas of fine coffee beans

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, of which the territory is 50660 square kilometers and the territorial sea is 440 square kilometers, which is slightly smaller than West Virginia in the United States. it is equivalent to Ireland and Costa Rica, which accounts for only 0.03% of the world's land area, but has nearly 4% of the world's species. 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.

Coffee is an important economic source of Costa Rica. It was introduced in 1808 and has been cultivated for 200 years. Costa Rica has 1x3 population input.

In the coffee-related industry, Colombians say that coffee has changed the country and can enjoy a rich environment, and coffee has indeed made an outstanding contribution. Although Costa Rica ranks third from the bottom in terms of land area in China and the United States, its economic environment is better than that of half of the countries, and because of the affluence of its people, social stability, and the ability to care about environmental issues, there are more than 30 national parks in Costa Rica 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 as good as that of Italy or the United States. Costa Rican coffee is called "extra hard beans". This kind of coffee can grow at an altitude of more than 1500 meters. 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 the flavor of the coffee beans is stronger. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is very good for the growth of coffee trees Tarasu is located in the south of the country's capital SanJos é, it is one of the country's valued coffee growers. LaMinitaTarrazu coffee is a famous local product, but its production is limited, about 72600 kilograms a year. It is grown on a piece of land called LaMinita, which is owned by nearly three generations of the McAlpine family in the UK. In fact, this land can produce more than 450 tons of coffee a year. However, the cultivation of Tarasu Latin American coffee does not use artificial fertilizers or insecticides, and its harvest and selection are all done by hand, in order to avoid the damage to coffee beans caused by air spray selection to some extent.

First, we should seek financial support from the government and set up a "coffee trust fund" to help coffee growers with difficulties tide over their cash flow difficulties.

Second, vigorously develop high-quality coffee, increase the added value of coffee exports, and make up for the losses caused by the fall in coffee prices. Its main approach is to focus on the cultivation of high-quality coffee from 1000 meters to 1500 meters above sea level, prohibit the collection of immature coffee beans, strengthen the screening of coffee beans, and pay attention to the environmental protection ingredients during planting and processing.

From 2002 to 2003, Colombia produced 3 million packets of coffee (60 kg each) and exported 1.87 million packets of coffee. 40% of the coffee exported is high-quality refined coffee, which is known internationally as "GOURMET coffee". In the international market, refined coffee costs an average of US $93.61 per bag (46kg) (FOB), which is US $19.56 higher than that of ordinary coffee. Elder brother also has a kind of refined coffee, which sells for US $800 per bag, third, to strengthen the export of high-quality coffee to Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries. European and American countries have high living standards, high consumption levels and high requirements for the quality of coffee. A cup of high-quality coffee can sell for $3.25 in Europe and the United States. My brother launched a strong publicity campaign for the European, American and Japanese markets. The offensive has spread to Russia. China has also been included in the future market for Colombian coffee.

Fourth, increase domestic coffee consumption and expand the domestic market. The survey found that there is very little coffee consumption in these coffee-producing countries, whether in Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Costa Rica. To this end, the Colombian coffee authorities are prepared to strengthen the development of the domestic consumer market and increase the publicity and sales of domestic coffee products while opening up foreign markets, so as to create a good space for the further development of the coffee industry.
