Coffee was introduced to Costa Rica in the late 1700s and became a major export by the 1820s. Infrastructure improvements, like the 1846 road to Puntarenas, enabled efficient transport to market, initially via oxcarts.
In 1933, Icafe (Instituto del Café de Costa Rica) was established to support the industry. Funded by a 1.5% export tax, it oversees research, quality, and regulation, and ensures farmers receive 80% of the FOB price.
Although Costa Rica only produces les than 1% of global coffee, it is known for consistent quality. Regional diversity defines its profiles: Tarrazú offers high acidity; West Valley grows varieties like Villa Sarchi, Villa Lobos, SL-28, and Gesha; Tres Ríos is known for softer, sweeter cups; Central Valley produces standout natural coffees which we love
