Coffee in CR

Our visit to Costa Rica has been devoted to a few different areas, as I explained we went to Del Cafe Tal earlier in the trip. We also went to a much larger mass producer of coffee after that. We visited the Cafe Britt plantation. They had a very entertaining presentation, but it seemed fake.

Their presentation had a lot of information on the history of coffee from the beginning in Ethiopia where sheep would eat the coffee beans and go wild all the way to how it became a commonplace drink throughout the world. They also showed us the right ways to brew it and the differences between good and bad coffee. One thing they told us specifically for all you coffee drinkers is DO NOT REHEAT THE COFFEE.

This was a cool part of the trip, a little generic, but I did learn a lot. Another part I really enjoyed was the good food we had for lunch while we were there. That is usually a huge plus for me when I am judging the places we visit.

These are the roasters that creates the different roasts of coffee. The longer the beans are left in it the darker the roast. Kind of self explanatory.
























The Costa Rican coffee industry is a large economic provider for this country.

This was very interesting to see exactly how the process occurred. Cafe Britt is an international brand. You can see exactly how they manufacture all this coffee below.
