Introduction to the flavor and taste of varieties produced in the grinding scale of diamond mountain coffee beans in Costa Rica

S.H.B. means very hard beans at altitudes above 1500 meters, meaning high-quality Costa Rican coffee. Altitude has always been a problem for coffee growers. Coffee beans are better at higher altitudes, not only because higher altitudes increase the acidity of coffee beans and thus enhance flavor, but also because lower night temperatures at higher altitudes cause trees to grow slowly, thus making coffee beans more flavorful. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, the growth of coffee trees is also very favorable. However, while there are many advantages to growing coffee at higher altitudes, the additional transportation costs associated with it must be taken into account, which may well make coffee production unprofitable. Costa Rican coffee has adopted new technologies to increase efficiency,

include that use of an "electric eye" to select beans and identify coffee bean of irregular size.

This extra-hard coffee bean suitable for medium and heavy roasts has a strong acidity and attractive aroma. Costa Rican SHG coffee is usually full of particles, clear flavor, bright acid, consistency is also very good, strong flavor makes the ending lingering in the throat, unforgettable.

Tarasu, located south of the capital San José, is one of the country's most valued coffee plantations. 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 Tarasulamita 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 air-jet sorting.

Other coffees worth mentioning are Juan Vinas (PR), H.Tournon, Windmill (SHB), Montebello and Santa Rosa. Fine coffee is grown in Geredia and the Central Valley. Another striking coffee is Sarchi (one of five towns that represent Costa Rica's "coffee route"), which grows on the slopes of Poas Volcano, 53 kilometers from San Jose. Saatchi was founded in 1949 and has 30770 hectares of land to grow sugar cane and coffee. The area is also known for its handicrafts, attracting tourists from all over the world.
