Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of gourmet coffee – Costa Rica’s most important and prestigious crop. Follow the journey of the coffee bean from the moment it leaves the plantation until it becomes a cup of fresh delight.
A professional acting troupe, dressed in traditional garb, will escort you through an interactive tour on the history of coffee.
On the "finca", as the plantation is called in Spanish, your day starts in six acres (2.5 hectares) of coffee fields, tropical gardens and coffee-processing facilities. Stroll through a thriving farm as songbirds chirp from shade trees overhead. Learn the facts of coffee cultivation and take a few of the dried beans home to grow a plant of your own!
From the fields, continue to the roasting and packaging facilities, where you will breathe in the aroma of roasting coffee and learn all about the magical process that turns a red coffee cherry into a delicious cup of java. Then in the theater, sit back and watch a multimedia play and presentation of coffee's place in world history. Learn about how deeply coffee culture is woven into the history and people of Costa Rica.
The green highlands of Costa Rica’s fertile Central Valley seem to jostle for attention as Britt experts lead the way with unmatched knowledge, plenty of good humor and more than a few surprises!
Finish your tour with a visit to the well-stocked coffee-and-gift store. There, if you choose, you may enjoy a delicious lunch of creative cuisine prepared with Costa Rica’s freshest produce at the on-site Don Prospero restaurant. See if you can stump Britt’s baristas by ordering any coffee drink you can imagine
