There are many excellent producing areas in Costa Rica, and the high-quality producing areas of Costa Rica have a common understanding of quality, that is, it requires the use of mature coffee fruits to ensure the production of high-quality coffee.

Generally speaking, a large amount of water is used in the post-processing of the picked coffee fruit, but the advanced production equipment in Costa Rica saves the use of water resources to the greatest extent, and a circulating filter is used to treat the waste water from washing coffee beans. let the waste water be purified into clean water to prevent pollution of the local soil environment.

After peeling, the peel and pulp of the coffee fruit are recovered as feed for livestock, or converted into organic fertilizer, as well as coffee bean dryer fuel. It can be said that in every process of coffee production, Costa Rica complies with the requirements of maintaining the natural environment.

Among the many excellent producing areas in Costa Rica, there is a famous producing area that stands out-Tarazu (Tarrazu), also known as Tarasu.

But the prices of these coffees entering the market are still higher than those of other beans produced in Central America. Raminita's strict management of all aspects of coffee production has established a world-class reputation and can be called a world-famous coffee farm.
