Have you ever tried a cup of Costa Rican coffee? If so, then you’re likely remembering one of the best coffees you’ve had! Costa Rican beans are absolutely revered by coffee connoisseurs, baristas, and aficionados from all over the world - and rightfully so! Let’s just say that Costa Rica has quite the resume when it comes to quality coffee.
Interesting Facts on Costa Rican Coffee
Costa Rica consistently produces around 90 million kilograms (198 million pounds) of coffee per crop year.
It was the first country in South America to establish a thriving coffee industry.
Robusta species are illegal - as per a 1989 law that aimed to encourage the cultivation of higher-quality Arabica beans.
Coffee exports account for 90% of the produce, yet only 10% of the population is actively involved in coffee production.
It’s one of the most peaceful and happiest (ranks 1st in the Happy Planet Index) countries on the globe - they don’t even have a standing army, so the knowledge that your coffee beans were cultivated with love makes the cup even more enjoyable.
The country holds an annual Cup of Excellence Competition.
Five percent of the global biodiversity is housed in a country that’s smaller than Lake Michigan. Coupled with the eradication of deforestation in the country, you’re assured that your coffee comes from an ecologically conscious country.
A Brief History of Costa Rican Coffee
Coffee isn’t just a cash crop - it’s a way of life, and it’s what defines Costa Rica’s past and present. The coffee industry permeates nearly every aspect of the Costa Rican lifestyle - from the economy and tourism to their very social structure. With this in mind, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the government and farmers pay keen attention to the quality of their bean.
According to the most widely held historical accounts, coffee was first introduced to the small South American country in the 18th century by Spanish colonists. Courtesy of Costa Rica’s growing conditions, the industry flourished - fueled by growing demand in the European market.
Within the course of a few short decades (the early 1800s), coffee took the sole position as Costa Rica’s biggest export. The Costa Rican coffee industry was - and still is - so successful that it played a key role in the development of the country. Such is the significance of coffee to Costa Rica that some of the plantations are actually tourist attractions.

But u put the Paraguay flag instead of Costa Rica’s, great vid tho
Nice, very informative video.
Although I have to say, Costa Rica is not in South America, it's in Central America which is generally thought of as part of North America. Also, when the video zooms in on South America, Costa Rica is seen in the upper left hand corner slowly going out of frame.
Anyways, thanks for highlighting Costa Rican coffee.
No. You're wrong.
Yes and no, let me explain.
For most Hispanic countries, America is viewed as a single continent with three subcontinentes: North, Central (from Guatemala to Panamá) and caribbean, and south
In the other hand, people from anglo countries see two continents: North (Canada, USA, Mexico) and South (central, caribbean, and south)
@@thebigmm6548 Nope. Central America is geographically part of North America.

AMAZING TASTE
Costa Rican coffee really do have a lot of tasty options to offer!
I am drinking a cup of Las Lajas Micromill from Sabana Redonda farm in central valley as i watch this. It was awarded ACES by Cafe Imports. Best cup of coffee i have tasted thus far!
I'd have to say Guatamala lol the earthy and fairly heavy cocoa notes as a medium roast from their beans is coffee heaven. It's said it has to do with the vulcanic rich soil in Guatamala that gives their beans that earthy slight smoky notes along with a fairly deep pronounced Cocoa notes. Just something about Guatamala beans for me for sure
Honey and anaerobic process both were born in Costa Rica, they do care about creating coffee with a great value. Also they are regulated by republic law which make cr providers very reliable
