„Costa Rican coffee is grown primarily in the countrysidesurrounding the capital, San Jose. Four of the most famous coffees by district are SanMarcos de Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Heredia, and Alajuela. Altitude may be a more importantfactor in determining flavor than district; strictly hard bean indicates a Costa Ricancoffee grown above 3,900 feet; good hard bean from 3,300 to 3,900. Unlike many coffees ofthe world, Costa Rican growths generally are identified either by the estate or farm(finca) on which they were grown, or by cooperative or processing facility (beneficio)where they were processed.“

This piece of information, which is usually available to the roaster or importer, is seldom passed on to the consumer except in the case of well-known estates like Bella Vista or La Minita.“

„Costa Rica's best coffees come from three specific areas in the country's Central Valley: the slopes of the Poas Volcano, the Tres Rios region and the rugged mountains of Tarrazu. Coffees are grown at altitudes ranging from 3800 to 5500 feet. Tarrazu is the most remote and renowned region, and we spent a memorable day visiting farms there.“

A Little Something About the Big "S"
„Over two dozen varietals and blends are available for purchase, bearing exotic names like Costa Rica Tres Rios and Ethiopia Yergacheffe. Thanks to a partnership with Pepsi, you can now take Starbucks' popular Frappuccino drink home with you in a handy four-pack. Starbucks cookbooks share the shelves with everything from travel mugs to press pots, and even that groovy tune in the background can be yours, since it's probably one of Starbucks' own CDs. No doubt influenced by the success of Ben & Jerry's, Starbucks entered the ice cream market in 1995 in a joint venture with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream.“
