In Costa Rica, costa rica coffee is not just a beverage; it's a way of life. Ever since the crop came to Costa Rica at the end of the 18th century, it has defined the nation's culture, economy, and diet.
At first, the plant was just a local crop. In the 18th century, the government began distributing coffee plants and land plots, cutting taxes for tico farmers willing to grow export-grade coffee. Since then, it has become the country's single greatest source of revenue and is exported all over the world.
Costa Rica enjoys several geographic advantages for coffee growing. coffee grown at higher altitudes makes a better roast, because the beans mature more slowly in the cold and are less likely to break during the roasting process. Costa Rica's volcanic ranges also influence coffee crops in surprisingly productive ways: volcanic ash in the soil leaves mineral deposits that enrich the bean's flavor.
