Costa Rica Fire Phoenix Manor Coffee Bean Production Area Treatment Variety Grinding Scale Introduction

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. The negative effect, however, is to increase the additional cost of transportation, which may well make coffee production unprofitable. Costa Rican coffee has adopted new techniques to increase efficiency, including using "electric eyes" to select beans and identify irregular size beans. Tarasu, south of San José, is one of the country's most prized coffee growing areas. La Minita Tarrazu coffee is locally famous but produced in limited quantities, about 72600 kilograms a year, on land called La Minita, owned by nearly three generations of the McAlpine family in Britain. In fact, the land produces more than 450 tons of coffee per year. But Tara Sulama coffee is grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides, and is harvested and picked entirely by hand, in order to avoid some of the damage done to the beans by the air-jet process

Only those exceeding 20% sweetness will be exposed to sunlight.
