Costa Rican coffee beans origin history and culture

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. However, Tarasu Latin American coffee is grown without artificial fertilizers or insecticides, and its harvest and selection are all done by hand, in order to avoid the damage to coffee beans caused by air jet selection to some extent. First, to win financial support from the government and to set up a "coffee trust fund" to help coffee growers in need tide over their cash flow difficulties.

Second, vigorously develop high-quality coffee, increase the added value of coffee exports, and make up for the losses caused by the fall in coffee prices. Its main approach is to focus on the cultivation of high-quality coffee from 1000 meters to 1500 meters above sea level, prohibit the collection of immature coffee beans, strengthen the screening of coffee beans, and pay attention to the environmental protection ingredients during planting and processing.

From 2002 to 2003, Colombia produced 3 million packets of coffee (60 kg each) and exported 1.87 million packets of coffee. 40% of the coffee exported is high-quality refined coffee, which is known internationally as "GOURMET coffee". In the international market, refined coffee costs an average of US $93.61 per bag (46kg) (FOB), which is US $19.56 higher than that of ordinary coffee. I also have a kind of refined coffee, which sells for $800 a bag.

Costa Rican coffee has full particles, ideal acidity and unique strong flavor. Costa Rica's coffee industry, originally controlled by the Costa Rican Coffee Industry Company (ICAFE), has been taken over by the official Coffee Committee (Oficinale Cafe). Among the exported coffee, those products that are considered to be of substandard quality are colored with blue vegetable dyes and then transferred back to China for sale.

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. The higher the altitude, the better the coffee beans, not only because the higher altitude can increase the acidity of the coffee beans and thus increase the flavor, but also because the night temperature at the higher altitude is lower, which can make the trees grow slowly, thus making the coffee beans have a stronger flavor. In addition, due to the high altitude drop caused by sufficient rainfall, is also very beneficial to the growth of coffee trees. However, while there are many advantages to growing coffee at higher elevations, the resulting additional transport 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.

Coffee is an important economic source of Costa Rica. It was introduced in 1808 and has been cultivated for 200 years. Costa Rica has 1x3 population input.

In the coffee-related industry, Colombians say that coffee has changed the country and enjoyed a rich environment, and coffee has indeed made an outstanding contribution. Although the land area of Colombia ranks third from the bottom of Central America, its economic environment is better than that of half of the countries. due to the affluence of the people, social stability, and spare capacity to care about environmental issues, there are more than 30 national parks in Colombia.

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 coffee consumed in China (dyed blue or undyed) accounts for about 10% of the total output, and the local per capita coffee consumption is twice that of Italy or the United States. Other kinds of Brazilian coffee, such as Rio and Parana, can be produced in large quantities because they do not require too much care. Although the taste is rough, it is a kind of good and inexpensive coffee. Because it is distributed all over the country and its solid quality varies, it has its own standard (NO.2--NO.8 according to the number of sundries, NO.13--NO.19 according to the size of beans, and six grades according to taste). Almost all Arabica species are of good quality and stable prices, the most famous being Costa Rica, which has been a necessity of blended coffee since ancient times and is known to the public as Tarasu, located in the south of the country's capital SanJos é, is one of the most valued coffee growers in the country.
