Coffee Workshop in Costa Rica – Tradition, Pride and Connection to the Land

Costa Rica is one of the world's most famous coffee growing countries, and it considers coffee not just an agricultural product but an important part of its culture, economy, and national identity. Coffee cultivation began in the country in the early 19th century, and since then it has played a central role in Costa Rica's social and economic development.

Costa Rican coffee culture is characterized by a deep love for the land and the cultivation of exceptionally high-quality coffee. Coffee is grown organically, in fertile mountainous areas where the tropical climate and volcanic soil create the ideal conditions for growing premium quality coffee beans. The country requires that only high-quality varieties of Arabica beans, known for their exquisite flavor, be grown.

Many coffee farms in Costa Rica are family-owned and passed down from generation to generation, so the farmers cultivate coffee with pride and dedication. Visiting a coffee farm is a significant cultural experience, during which you can learn about all the stages of coffee production – from hand-picking the beans to the roasting process that highlights the complexity of the flavors and aromas.

Beyond the agricultural aspects, coffee is part of everyday life in Costa Rica. Drinking coffee is a daily ritual accompanied by conversations and social gatherings, and is considered a moment of connection and intimacy between people.



As part of retreats in Costa Rica, the coffee experience provides an opportunity to connect not only with nature and organic processes, but also with local culture, tradition, and the deep connection to the land, which are an integral part of personal development processes.
