Costa Rica’s coffee plantations are located in some of the most picturesque mountain regions in the country, where volcanic soil and mild temperatures produce exceptional high-altitude Arabica beans. Guided tours introduce visitors to the complex journey of coffee production, including seed selection, planting, shade-growing, sustainable farming, harvesting, and washing methods. Many plantations use traditional systems such as honey processing and natural drying techniques that enhance flavor complexity. Visitors can participate in roasting workshops where experts explain how heat, timing, and technique influence aroma, acidity, body, and sweetness. Tastings provide an opportunity to savor single-origin coffees and learn how to identify notes such as citrus, chocolate, fruit, caramel, and floral undertones. Coffee plantations in Tarrazú are especially famous for award-winning micro-lots and some of the highest-rated specialty coffees in the world. Cultural components include learning about Costa Rica’s coffee history, the role of coffee in economic development, and the traditions of rural farming families. Many farms are surrounded by scenic landscapes featuring mountain ridges, cloud forests, waterfalls, and wildlife. Artisan coffee shops and roasters complement the experience with premium brewing methods such as pour-over, Chemex, AeroPress, and espresso.
