Costa Rica's coffee glory comes from the Central Valley. Located in the heart of this Latin American pearl, the Central Valley is the most populated region with the capital San Jose in the east of the country. Two green mountain ranges border the valley, creating a unique microclimate with exceptional conditions for growing coffee. ‎
‎
The region's four largest volcanoes, namely Poas, Barva, Irasu, and Turrialba, provide fertile soil that provides valuable nutrition for local vegetation. As a result, the Central Valley area shines with a green mix of farmland and national parks. Since the coffee region is located at an altitude of 1,350 to 1,600 meters, conditions are created for the cultivation of strictly hard beans (SHB). Coffee beans grown above 1,350 meters are classified as SHB and grow more slowly than those at lower altitudes. Slow growth leaves more time for firmer and firmer grains to form, resulting in more intense flavor and acidity. ‎
