Coffee
Costa Rican coffee is recognized as one of the best in the world! Introduced in the 1770s, the commonly and affectionately called “golden grain” by Costa Ricans very quickly became an engine of economic development. Cultivated mainly under the Arabica variety and with quality as a highlight, you can taste it while immersing yourself in its culture and the traditions that surround it in the 8 regions where it is produced: Brunca, Turrialba, Tres Ríos, Orosi, Tarrazú, Central Valley and Occidental and Guanacaste.
Cocoa
With cocoa, Costa Rica wishes to stand out in the production of fine chocolate on the international scene, since it has some of the optimal characteristics to obtain a very high quality production. A journey that resembles that of coffee!
