Costa Rican Coffee

The story of coffee in Costa Rica dates as far back as 1798. It is when acreage and coffee plants were gifted to anyone willing to cultivate the crop for export. It was not very hard to grow the plants in the country's mineral-rich volcanic soils, cold mountain climates, and shaded fields.

Coffee became the main export and played a significant source of income for Costa Rica. It was not only a basis for the country's economy, but it also became an integral part of the local culture. As the historians, Peter and Sampers noted, "Drinking coffee became a ritual of Costa Rican society." Would you like to experience a more traditional taste of this local delicacy? Try using a chorreador.
