Coffee Tours

Costa Rican coffee is known for its excellent quality and robust flavor. The Central Valley’s rich volcanic soil and cool temperatures provide the perfect environment for gourmet coffee production. Coffee plantations throughout Costa Rica have opened their doors to the public to offer educational, interactive coffee tours.

History of Coffee in Costa Rica

Coffee was first brought to Costa Rica in 1798. Plants and acreage were granted to all who were willing to grow crops for export, and coffee production quickly became a major industry, surpassing cacao and tobacco. In fact, Costa Rica was the first Central American country to establish coffee growing as an industry. The economic growth that coffee production brought enabled Costa Rica to develop ports, roads and other infrastructure necessary for continued expansion.

Today, coffee is a sustainable economic and agricultural product in Costa Rica. Coffee is the second largest commodity traded on the international market, second to petroleum. There are two types produced commercially – Arabica and Robusta – but Costa Rica only produces Arabica, as mandated by executive order. In general, Arabica beans produce a sweeter, smoother cup of coffee.

Tours include a walk through the coffee fields where visitors learn about the history of coffee and how it grows from seed to mature fruiting plant. Visitors are often permitted to pick coffee fruits during the harvest season. The processing mill where the coffee is removed from its husk is next, followed by the drying process and roasting mill. Finally, the reward: a fresh cup of roasted coffee.

Cafe Britt’s coffee plantation, Costa Rica’s largest producer of export-quality coffee, offers informative tours in the Central Valley. Located near Heredia, two miles north of Barva, Cafe Britt produces several tasty varieties, including an organic shade-grown coffee. They offer two tours – the Classic Coffee Tour and the Coffee Lovers' Tour – which incorporate theater acting, humor and interesting facts. Doka and Cafe Britt coffees can be purchased in Costa Rican grocery stores and ordered online. (Barva, Heredia; 9:30 a.m. and 11: a.m. year-round, 3:00 p.m. between December 15 and April 30; $20-$49. 2277-1600.)

More than 800 local coffee farmers form Coopedota – the Dota coffee cooperative famous for its Tarrazu coffee. Tours explore the field and wet mill, and explain the processes of cultivating, picking, drying, roasting and storing the delicious coffee fruit. The Coopedota coffee tour is especially popular during harvest season (November to March), when guests are invited to pick coffee and observe expert harvesters work their magic. (Santa Maria de Dota; 7:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday; $18. 2541-2828 or 2541-2728.)

Doka Estate

Doka Estate’s award winning Cafe Tres Generaciones is cultivated on the slopes of Poas Volcano. The century-old Doka coffee plantation uses a traditional water mill to power their processing plant, which is designated by the Costa Rican government as a national historical and architectural heritage site. Tours through the plantation focus on the entire coffee process – from fragile seedling to robust roast. Be sure to sample Doka's Peaberry, a special blend cultivated from peaberries – concentrated beans that account for only 5% of all coffee cherries. (Sabanilla de Alajuela; 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m, 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday; $20-$29. 2449-5152 or 2449-6623.)

Espiritu Santo

Surrounded by 640 acres of coffee fields, visitors to Naranjo's premier coffee tour travel from a seedling station to coffee fields, and from the wet mill and to the roasting room. The tour also visits a traditional Costa Rican home, and includes sampling some of the plantation's rich coffee blends. For an extra fee, an expert taster schools guests on how to distinguish excellence in coffee roasts. (Naranjo; $22. 2450-3838.)

The Santa Elena Cooperative, also known as Coope Santa Elena, offers one of the area's best tours. Visit a local coffee plantation – just one of many cooperative members – to explore the fields and pick some cherries. Later, a stop by the coffee mill reveals the fascinating processes of peeling cherries, sun-drying beans, and roasting coffee. Taste-testing is included. (Santa Elena, Monteverde; 9:00 a.m.; $22-$30. 2645-5006.)

What travellers are saying.

• Jennifer M 0 contributions 0 5.0 of 5 bubbles Jose and Alejandro are AMAZING! Jose and Alejandro are FANTASTIC! They went above and beyond for our group. Pura Vida is their whole vibe. My husband and I are on our honeymoon and this trip is our first out of the country. Booking the trip was easy and they communicate with you the whole time. They were punctual and entertaining. There’s a lot of driving but it’s beautiful landscape gives you a lot to admire. Alejandro is very intelligent and gives you a lot of history about the country and landscape. Food was amazing and the hiking and sloth sanctuary was beyond words. They take you to see poison dart frogs, iguanas, toucans, spiders, butterflies, and so much more. I could not be more happy for doing this trip. There were two little kids that fell asleep so they ensured they got to see the sloths too when they woke up. While we waited they gave us amazing coffee, empanadas and conversation. It is INCREDIBLE! Great people all around! You won’t be disappointed. The location of the second waterfall, Azul lagoon was breath taking. They also have shops and fresh fruit you can buy. We got 2 coconuts for $4 (2,000 Costa Rican colones). Enjoy your trip!

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Great experience from the hotel pickup until the very end. All the guides were super helpful and very patient with a few in our group that were nervous. I had an amazing time and would 100% recommend.

Amazing place! Lunch was incredible! Horseback riding up the mountain! Zip lining 8 courses with fun and amazing guides! They made us laugh and kept it fun! The waterfalls, massage and hot springs were excellent as well! Definitely a place to visit!

This was my husband’s and my second time here and the first time for the other two couples that joined us this time. It was just as fun as the first time and the other two couples, really had a blast! With 8 lines to zip down, you won’t be disappointed!!! The hot springs are nice and relaxing and the food is delicious. If you’re feeling adventurous you should slide down the concrete water slide-lots of fun but a bit scary at the same time (you feel like you’re going to get launched out! Lol).

Great experience! David our tour guide was great and didn't rush us! Zip lining for beginners like my self thru the amazing rain forest views was a breeze learning from them ! Horse back ridding and warm springs. Very clean and organized !

We had a wonderful time at your adventure park!! The staff are amazing! Antonio was amazing with our son, he was afraid to do the zip line so Antonio went with him! Our son had the time of his life and felt far more comfortable with Antonio by his side.

Great massage with incredible atmosphere in nature! The buffet lunch was incredible as well as the complimentary drinks! We enjoyed the mud body masks as we let it dry in the sun and rinse off in the cool river. The hot springs felt great after the river! The coffee was amazing, and everyone was so nice and welcoming! Thank you for a great experience!!

In addition, this place has a viewpoint with spectacular views of the lake.
