Costa Rica has one of the widest ranges of microclimates, due to the drastic change in altitude and climate over relatively short distances. These differences in climatic factors determine the flavor of the final cup.  Costa Rican coffee has set the standards for fine wet-processed coffee for the rest of Central and South America.  The regions famous for exceptional coffee are Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Herediá, Alajuela and Alajuela Poas Volcano.  Costa Rican coffee grown in a specific region is also called a coffee appellation.

Unfortunately many Costa Rican coffee brands are not 100% pure regional coffee. This high quality Costa Rica coffee is in short supply and is mixed in with other Costa Rica coffee regions to increase the profits and raise the taste quality. These brands should actually be called Costa Rica Coffee Blends but pass themselves off as the real thing. Costa Rica coffee is also used to elevate the quality of many other gourmet coffee blends
