Costa Rica Coffee Reviews - Tres Rios 
 

Costa Rica coffee is a great all around coffee with good balance, acidity, body and character, with a hint of spice and some nutty overtones.

Costa Rica over a hundred years ago, mandated that every family grow at least a few bushes of coffee on their property. Additionally, they offered large plots of land to those who would be willing to grow coffee and devote their lives to it.

In the center of these ranges is a high-altitude plain, with coastal lowlands on either side. Which make perfect growing conditions for high quality SHB coffees.

Costa Rica is the only country in the world which has issued an executive order (N°19302-MAG, 4 December 1989) banning the production of any variety of coffee other than Arabica.
