Introduction to the flavor description and taste characteristics of Costa Rican coffee varieties

In the 1820s, the independence movement in Latin America was high, and Costa Rica declared its independence in 1821. Incorporated into the Iturvid Empire of Mexico in 1822. He joined the Union of Central America in 1823. The Republic of Costa Rica was founded in 1848. From 1821 to 1870, the Costa Rican regime was mainly controlled by J.R. Maura Porras and J.M. In the hands of the two Montealegre families, the economy has developed greatly, and coffee has grown particularly rapidly and become a major export product. From 1855 to 1857, President Mora Porras commanded the Costa Rican army and other Central American countries to crush American adventurer W. Volcker's invasion defended the independence of Central America. From 1870 to 1882, T. Guardia Gutierrez exercised dictatorship, weakening the power of the two families. Since the 1970s, British and American capital has infiltrated. American entrepreneur M.C. Keith signed a contract with the Costa Rican government to build a railway from Port Limon to San Jose on the east coast, won a concession in 1999 and occupied large tracts of land to develop banana plantations. United Fruit took over Keith Industry in 1899 and controlled railways and banana production and exports. In 1913, banana exports ranked first in the Republic of Costa Rica in southern Central America. "Costa Rica" means "fertile coast" in Spanish. The area is 51100 square kilometers. The population is 2.46 million (1984), whites account for 77%, Indo-Europeans account for 20%, and the rest are blacks and Indians. Most residents believe in Catholicism. The official language is Spanish. The capital, San Jose.

1502 C. Columbus discovered the coast of Costa Rica on his fourth voyage. Since then, the Spanish colonists have invaded many times, and the city of Catago was built in 1563. Costa Rica became a Spanish colony and came under the jurisdiction of the Government of Guatemala. During the colonial period, under the cruel enslavement and oppression of the Spanish colonists, the Indians were almost wiped out, and there was little labor available for enslavement, so the Spaniards had to cultivate small plots of land and produce the agricultural products they needed. Costa Rica has long been in a state of poverty, ignorance and isolation.

Coffee was introduced into Costa Rica from Cuba in 1729. Today, its coffee industry is one of the well-organized industries in the world, with a yield of 1700 kg per hectare. Costa Rica has only 3.5 million people but 400m coffee trees, and coffee exports account for 25 per cent of the country's total exports. Costa Rica's volcanic soil is very fertile and well drained, especially in the central plateau CentralPlateau, where the soil consists of successive layers of ash and dust. Costa Rica was therefore the first country in Central America to grow coffee and bananas for commercial value. Coffee and bananas are the country's main exports.

The research center, located about 30 kilometers northeast of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, belongs to the Costa Rican Coffee Association and is a national coffee species in Costa Rica.

The newly developed villa sarchi planting, breeding and 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, 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 has increased a lot. However, there is no machine to do the coffee picking, so we must use manual labor.
