Costa Rica

Coffee is a hugely important crop to the history and culture of Costa Rica, growing widely across the spine of the small nation but especially well regarded for the product from Tarrazú and Tres Rios.
High altitude and fertile volcanic soil made it a valuable export, and the nation was even Britain’s no.1. supplier in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The funds from trade like this allowed for large-scale modernisation across the nation and this highly developed infrastructure has given Costa Rican coffee great value. However, interest in the specialty market has meant a shift towards traceable, small-scale production, with a greater focus on native processes like honey.
