Tea & Coffee 05/04 - Hunting for Specialty in Costa Rica

  „The good co-operatives are working on this. About 40% of Costa Rican coffee now goes through co-operatives, and the British party was interested to find how hard the co-ops were working to change the individual farmer’s idea of what coffee could do. They are having some success, and their farmers are reasonably well off, and looking forward to the next internet auctions in May. Last year, the best coffee fetched $10.35 per pound, which had an encouraging effect on individual farmers.“

Costa Rican Coffee

  „Costa Rica has set the standards for fine wet-processed coffee for the rest of Central and South America.  The most famous coffees by region are Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Herediá, and Alajuela.  Most Costa Rican coffee comes from a hybrid called caturra and is characterized as bright and full bodied.  Other popular varieties are Mondo Novo and Catuai.  The best coffees, which are grown above 3,900 feet, are designated as "strictly hard bean".  The "good hard bean" classification is given to coffees grown from 3,300 to 3,900 feet.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „The relative lack of innuendo in Costa Rica coffees ironically may be owing to the advanced state of the Costa Rican coffee industry. They tend to come from trees of relatively recently developed cultivars of arabica like caturra or catuai, and usually are impeccably wet-processed using technically advanced techniques that eliminate the oddities of flavor that derive from traditional or regional variations in processing.“
