Costa Rica - Sampling the Freshest Costa Rican Coffee

Better than your morning ‘Starbucks’, sampling a cup of coffee from the heart of coffee country is a delight. There is nothing quite like the smell of fresh coffee, never mind being in the centre of the coffee heartland with acres of beans being cultivated daily for the country’s main export industry. Home to the majority of Costa Rica’s coffee plantations, the Central Valley is the place to visit for a peek at the crops and the culture. The coffee tradition has been alive and well in Latin America long before it took off in westernised countries. Folklore and rituals have always surrounded the cultivation of the prosperous bean. A visit to the plantations will give you an inside look into some of the finest coffee production in the world. As an extra bonus many artists and sculptors live and work around the plantations, so you can pick a bag of beans and an original piece of art at the same time.
