Coffee Costa Rica Reserved Tarrazú Perfection of Costa Rican Coffee
Coffee in Costa Rica has a long and rich history, dating back to the 19th century, when the first coffee seedlings were brought to the country by Spanish colonizers. Since then, Costa Rica has become one of the most important coffee producers in the world, and its coffees are prized for their unique flavor and aroma. Costa Rica's coffee culture is an integral part of its national heritage, and coffee cultivation is a key source of income for many Costa Rican families.
Today, coffee cultivation in Costa Rica is dominated by small farmers who grow coffee on small plantations. Costa Rican farmers are known for their attention to the quality of their crops, using traditional farming methods and organic practices to ensure the highest quality beans. The country's coffee plantations are located at high altitudes, which encourages slow ripening of the coffee fruit, which in turn translates into a complex flavor profile for the coffee.
One of Costa Rica's best-known coffee-growing regions is Tarrazú. It is a canton located in the central part of Costa Rica, known for its unique climate and excellent conditions for growing coffee. Tarrazú is one of the highest coffee regions in Costa Rica, with plantations located at elevations of up to 1,750 meters above sea level. The region's climate is characterized by stable temperatures and abundant rainfall, which promotes healthy growth of coffee plants.
In the Tarrazú region, in the Los Santos sub-region, Costa Rica Reserved Tarrazú coffee is grown by small farmers affiliated with a cooperative. The plantations are located between 1,200 and 1,750 meters above sea level, providing ideal conditions for growing Caturra and Catuai coffee. After harvesting, the hand-selected coffee cherries are transported to one of the state-of-the-art processing stations.
At the station, which is also one of the most innovative in Costa Rica, the coffee is processed using the anaerobic semi-washed method. The process begins by depulping the coffee cherries and placing them in sealed steel tanks, which induces anaerobic fermentation. This method develops unique flavors, such as lactic and apple, which translates into a very complex coffee taste. After fermentation, the coffee is dried in the sun until it reaches 11.5% moisture content, and then left to mature to develop its full exotic flavors.
