Costa Rica’s Coffee Culture

Few things define Costa Rica quite like its coffee. Grown in rich volcanic soils and nurtured by mountain air, Costa Rican coffee is more than a beverage — it’s a tradition woven into daily life. For locals and visitors alike, each region offers a distinct experience, from artisanal roasters in San José to cozy cafés tucked into the hills of Heredia or the beaches of Guanacaste.

A Heritage of Excellence

Costa Rica’s commitment to quality is legendary. Since the 19th century, coffee has been one of the country’s most prized exports, celebrated for its smooth body, bright acidity, and subtle sweetness. Today, boutique farms and specialty coffee houses continue that legacy, offering unique flavors that reflect the land and climate where each bean is grown.

What makes coffee here special isn’t just its flavor — it’s the experience. From farm-to-table tours to conversations shared over a steaming cup, coffee represents community and connection. Each sip tells the story of a culture that values sustainability, craftsmanship, and the simple pleasures of life.
