COFFEE TOUR The Coffee tour, set in the breathtaking panoramic valley of the Poás and Barva volcanoes, is a fascinating, multimedia presentation that takes you through the entire process that turns a ripe coffee cherry into a perfect cup of Costa Rican gourmet coffee. You’ll learn every step, from the harvesting of the cherries, to the roasting and final packaging. Top off the tour with a coffee “cupping” session, where you learn to recognize the distinct characteristics of a real gourmet coffee. See the history of the world’s favorite beverage come to life at any one of our daily, year-round tours. This tour is a bilingual presentation for all ages, using actors to describe coffee production from the farm to the beverage. The tour begins in an actual coffee plantation. Afterwards visitors are invited to a theater performance which informs them about the history and processing of coffee. Later the audience is taken to the roasting facility to see the final stages of coffee preparation and to participate in a coffee cupping (tasting session).
