Thanks to its favorable soil and climate conditions, the region is famous for producing some of the best coffees in the world. The high altitudes and thus low temperatures during the night let the cherries mature more slowly, resulting in a dense bean which qualifies the coffee as Strictly Hard Bean (SHB). Coffees from Tarrazú have already won multiple international barista and cupping competitions.

Coffee In Costa Rica

Costa Rica boasts eight coffee growing regions, the most famous of which is Tarrazú. Bounded by the Pacific Ocean in the west and the mountain range of the Cordillera Central in the east, it is a region of lush vegetation and breathtaking views. Above all, Tarrazú is an ideal location to grow Arabica coffee. High altitudes and a sedimentary soil composition favor the smooth and fine acidity these coffees are famous for, while the nearby Pirrís river supplies the region with fresh water.
