Coffee is an important export product of Costa Rica, earning a large amount of foreign exchange for the country every year, and is figuratively called "Golden Seed". Costa Rica's unique natural conditions are ideal for growing high-quality coffee varieties. Despite its small yield, Costa Rica coffee has always occupied an important position in the international specialty coffee market due to its excellent quality.

The Colombian government attaches great importance to the development of coffee industry. In addition to promulgating laws prohibiting the cultivation of coffee varieties with poor flavor, it has also set up a national coffee administration to promote high-quality coffee varieties, help coffee farmers improve coffee cultivation management techniques, and provide technical support for coffee bean quality identification. At the same time, some coffee gardens have opened up a distinctive "coffee culture tour" to promote the coffee industry through tourism.

In recent years, in order to better adapt to the needs of the international coffee market, some coffee growers have set their sights on the current pursuit of green and environmentally friendly life, and vigorously grow organic coffee. Although the manpower and capital investment is relatively large, once certified by the international organic coffee certification body, it can be sold at a higher price. In addition to organic certification, there are also some world-renowned professional coffee certifications such as Rainforest Coffee Certification, Shade Coffee Certification, and International Fair Trade Certification, which provide channels for Costa Rica's boutique coffee to expand into the international coffee market.

Tarrazu, Costa Rica is one of the world's largest coffee-producing regions, located in the central valley of Costa Rica and south of the country's capital, San Jose, where there is a very rich alpine volcanic soil. Tarrazu is one of Costa Rica's four premium coffee growing regions, the other three being Tres Rios, Heredia and Alajuela.

Tarazu produces coffee with a light, pure flavor, bright acidity and citrus or berry aromas. Coffee produced in this region is highly rated on the international coffee market. Here at Tarrazu is a hard-to-find gourmet coffee bean, La Minita Tarrazu, which produces coffee in limited quantities, about 72,600 kilograms (160,000 pounds) a year, on land called La Minita, owned by the last three generations of the McAlpine family in England. The reason it's so popular is that Tara Zulamata is grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides, and its harvesting and selection are done separately by hand (to avoid the damage that air spray selection does to the beans to some extent).
