This coffee is a high-grown coffee that is high in acidity with a snappy, clean taste. It has a full body, robust richness, and a pleasant aftertaste similar to a fine dry white wine.  Costa Rican coffee is grown primarily in the countryside surrounding the capital, San Jose. Four of the most famous coffees by district are San Marcos de Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Heredia, and Alajuela. Altitude may be a more important factor in determining flavor than district; strictly hard bean indicates a Costa Rican coffee grown above 3,900 feet; good hard bean from 3,300 to 3,900. Unlike many coffees of the world, Costa Rican growths generally are identified either by the estate or farm (finca) on which they were grown, or by cooperative or processing facility (beneficio) where they were processed. This piece of information, which is usually available to the roaster or importer, is seldom passed on to the consumer except in the case of well-known estates like Bella Vista or La Minita.
