Introduction to the characteristics of Coffee Flavor description varieties in Fenghuang Manor of Costa Rica

The origin of coffee in Costa Rica:

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 sufficient rainfall caused by the drop at high altitude, it is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees.

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, the seeds (that is, coffee beans) can be roasted only by peeling, pulp, seed film and sun exposure. now part of the process can be replaced by machines, and the speed of coffee production increases a lot. However, there is no machine to do coffee picking. We must use artificial other kinds of Brazilian coffee, such as Rio, Parana, etc., which do not need too much care and can be produced in large quantities. Although the taste is relatively rough, it can be regarded as a kind of high-quality and inexpensive coffee, which has its own standard because it is distributed all over the country and its solid quality varies (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.

Excellent 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 the flavor of the coffee beans is stronger. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, it is very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, its negative effect is to increase additional transportation costs, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including using "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size.

The market for Costa Rican coffee:

Coffee exports account for 25% of Costa Rica's total exports. Costa Rica has also benefited from the establishment of the Central American Institute for Agricultural Research (TurrialbaoftheCentralAmericanAgriculturalResearchlnstitute, referred to as IAAC) in Tarasu, which is an important international research centre.

Costa Rica's coffee industry, originally controlled by the Costa Rican Coffee Industry Company (InstitutodelCafedeCostaRica, ICAFE), has been taken over by the official Coffee Committee (OficinadelCafe). 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 last dyed) accounts for about 10% of total production, and local per capita coffee consumption is twice that of Italy or the United States.

In addition, while Costa Rica has many advantages in growing coffee at higher elevations, the resulting additional transport costs must be taken into account, which is likely to make coffee production unprofitable. The coffee industry in Costa Rica has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency, including the use of "electric eyes" to select beans and identify coffee beans of irregular size.
