Costa Rica Coffee:
The First "Aggy" Industry of South or Central America!Arriving in the late eighteenth century to Costa Rica, coffee was not "native" to Costa Rica. But coffee was "made" for the Costa Rican climate and the soil. Costa Rica Coffee soils have a slight degree of acidity, enhanced by the country's many volcanoes ashes.The soil, rich in organic matter, that promote a good distribution of the coffee plants’ roots, which in turn retains humidity and facilitaters oxygenation. These combinations super-charge the plant and gives Costa Rican coffee a special quality all its own. It first took root thanks to the innovative spirit of Costa Rica's first coffee farmers in it's Central Valley. Costa Rica produces the highest quality of coffees. Unmatched, it is highly to taste them with their unblended beans in order the actually appreciate their flavor. The varieties grown in the country belong to the “Arabica” spezies, which yield a tasty, suberbly aromatic and well-balanced beverage. So well did it take to this country that those first farmes provided Costa Rica's first export industry industry which would fund what followed. Later developments in culture, eductation and prospertiy for the colony were directly linked to coffee. While at first it expanded slowly with its first exports through Panama in 1820, by the 1832, quality coffee was traveliing as a trade item to Panama and then Chille. Theere it was repackaged and sold to England. Brand name? Cafe Chileno de Valparaiso"! |

Finally in 1843, direct exporting from Costa Rica to London started. It was in that year, when a group of visionary exporters undertook the complex task of exporting coffee directly to London. Thanks to Captain W. L. L. Lyon, of the English ship, “The Monarch” it was possible to transport several 100-pound bags, leading to Costa Rican coffeee's fame to go worldwide..
That changed the face of this humble Central American colony. It's wealth would upgrade the culture of the country, with young Costa Rican's able to study in Europe.
