Hochland Kaffee

Costa Rica is located in southern Central America, bordering Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the southeast. Its excellent geographical and climatic conditions allowed coffee cultivation to spread early on. The first coffee plants arrived from Cuba in 1779. Coffee has been exported since 1820. Today, Costa Rica accounts for around 3% of global coffee exports, making coffee exports an important part of the economy. The country is also notable as one of the developing nations that has managed to bring coffee cultivation together with modern science, agricultural technology, and economic demands. At the same time, high-altitude coffees from Costa Rica rank among the best in the world, thanks to favorable soil and climate as well as modern technology. That is why Costa Rican coffee grown at elevations between 900 and 1,800 meters has delicate acidity. The beans are blue-green to blue, large and slender, with almost no silverskin residue. When roasted, they have a neutral flavor, while remaining mild and full-bodied, with a delicate aroma.
