The aroma of Costa Rican coffee is one of the best incentives to stimulate the senses, and it's no coincidence that Costa Rica is considered the second Latin American country with the highest coffee consumption among its population.
The coffee grown in these lands belongs to the Arabica variety and is mainly harvested from fertile volcanic soils, resulting in beans with better organoleptic properties that give them distinctive characteristics in aroma and texture, making them a product of high quality.
One of the aspects that define quality is the sustainable management applied on the plantations, where a synergy of factors ultimately helps improve production. The preservation of the environment is a key and highly important issue, achieved through the rational use of agrochemicals on the plants, avoiding aerial application that could affect water bodies within the plantations, and through manual weed control techniques, which contribute to a positive impact on the quality of life of the coffee growers.
The process of selecting and harvesting the fruit is done manually by farmers, ensuring that only beans at the right ripeness are processed. Since 1820, Costa Rica has become an exporter in this sector and continues to perfect the quality of its crops, which are the livelihood of many coffee growers in the region.
On coffee plantations, countless men and women work in a strenuous but rewarding task. Many farming families in the region dedicate themselves enthusiastically to this craft, which has been passed down through generations and that they are not willing to abandon.
