Introduction of Coffee Bean producing areas-- Costa Rican Fine Coffee from South America

Well-known representative coffee: Tarrazu

Like other Central American countries, coffee from Arabica is widely grown in Costa Rica. Its coffee is mainly grown in two high areas, one is the high area near the capital San Jose, and the other is the Tarrazu mountains southeast of San Jose.

Because it is grown at high altitude, Costa Rican coffee has a strong sour taste, and because the mountain temperature is lower, coffee trees grow more slowly, and coffee beans have a more complex taste.

The coffee produced in Tarasu has a special flavor of fruit and some chocolate or nutty flavors, and is one of the favorite coffees for coffee tasters.
