A brief introduction to the altitude environment of the flavor and taste producing area of the stable quality San Roman Coffee Manor in Costa Rica

Tarasu, located in the south of the country's capital, SanJos é, is one of the country's most valued coffee growers. LaMinitaTarrazu coffee is a famous local product, but its production is limited, about 72600 kilograms a year. It is grown on a piece of land called LaMinita, which is owned by nearly three generations of the McAlpine family in the UK. In fact, this land can produce more than 450 tons of coffee a year. But Tarasu Latin American coffee is grown without artificial fertilizers or insecticides, and its harvest and selection are all done by hand. the reason for this is to avoid the damage to coffee beans caused to some extent by air-jet selection, the main competitors for high-quality coffee are Kenya, Guatemala and Ethiopia. Coffee production in Brazil and Vietnam is mainly in quantity, which is not enough to pose a threat to high-quality coffee in Colombia. In the next five years, my country plans to increase the export volume of high-quality coffee to 70% of all exported coffee.

Third, strengthen the export of high-quality coffee to Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries. European and American countries have high living standards, high consumption levels and high requirements for the quality of coffee. A cup of high-quality coffee can sell for $3.25 in Europe and the United States. My brother launched a strong publicity campaign for the European, American and Japanese markets. The offensive has spread to Russia. China has also been included in the future market for Colombian coffee.

Fourth, increase domestic coffee consumption and expand the domestic market. The survey found that there is very little coffee consumption in these coffee-producing countries, whether in Brazil, Colombia, Vietnam and Costa Rica. To this end, the Colombian coffee authorities are prepared to strengthen the development of the domestic consumer market and increase the publicity and sales of domestic coffee products while opening up foreign markets, so as to create a good space for the further development of the coffee industry.

Costa Rica is one of the first countries in the Americas to establish a democratic system, and the idea of freedom and equality is deeply rooted. Costa Ricans love peace and oppose violence. As early as December 1, 1948, Costa Rica announced the abolition of the armed forces and the establishment of the National Guard, becoming the first country in the world without an army. [7] in 2007, there were 18000 police officers, thus putting an end to the possibility of military intervention in politics. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the rest of Central America was mired in civil war, it was still peaceful. Because Costa Rica has abolished its army and saved a lot of military expenditure, all of which has been spent on improving people's livelihood, developing education, establishing a social security system, etc., Costa Rica has maintained political stability for more than half a century. As of 2014, it is still the country with the highest degree of economic and social development in Central America, and its international competitiveness is in the forefront of Latin America. The Costa Rican government has set the goal of building a developed country by 2021. [8]

Costa Rica has only paramilitary forces made up of volunteers. Among them, the total strength of the security forces: 7000 (1997), the National Guard: 5000 (including the Coast Marine Corps), composed of 2 border security commands, 2 counter-riot battalions, 7 border battalions, 7 civil defense battalions, Marines; main equipment (1997): 7 inland river patrol boats, 10 patrol boats, 15 aircraft, 3 helicopters. [9]

Colombia pursues a foreign policy of peace and neutrality, supports the principles of self-determination and non-interference in internal affairs of all peoples, attaches importance to the development of traditional friendly relations with Latin American countries, actively promotes the process of regional economic integration, and supports the establishment of the Free Trade area of the Americas. He was elected a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council three times (1974-1975, 1997-1998 and 2008-2009) and was a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council from 2012 to 2016. Now has diplomatic relations with 153 countries.

The research center, located about 30 kilometers northeast of San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, belongs to the Costa Rican Coffee Association.

Coffee planting, breeding, 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, you must remove the peel, pulp, seed film and sun exposure before the seeds (that is, coffee beans) can be roasted. 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, so you must use manual labor. 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. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, although coffee is grown at higher elevations,

There are many advantages, but the additional transportation 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.
