Matambu
Costa Rica
Strawberry Pecan Toasted Sugar Miso & whatever you taste
Background
Coffee from the Matambu region of Costa Rica is a prime example of high-quality Costa Rican coffee, combining unique growing and processing conditions with sustainable production methods. The Guanacaste region, where the Matambu plantation is located, is known for its volcanic soils and high-altitude climate, which create ideal conditions for the cultivation of Arabica beans.
Coffee produced in this area has a complex flavor profile with pronounced fruity, wine notes, medium acidity, and a rich, long aftertase, which makes it popular all over the world.
In the Matambu region, as throughout Costa Rica, only Arabica is grown, which makes the coffee truly high-quality. The government has banned the cultivation of Robusta, allowing farmers to focus on producing unique varieties. Thanks to the altitude and special microclimate, coffee beans here are distinguished by their purity of taste and pronounced notes of fruit and chocolate.
Coffee farms in Matambu use environmentally friendly and sustainable practices. The country actively uses organic farming and shade cultivation, which protects biodiversity and helps preserve the environment. Many coffee producers are working to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and minimize the impact on nature. Environmental sustainability is one of the priorities of Costa Rican farmers.
The plantations use modern and traditional methods of processing coffee beans. Based on the traditions of the ancient population of Costa Rica, Matambu processing adds rich flavor characteristics to the coffee with wine and berry notes and more.
An interesting fact is that the Matambu region attracts many tourists thanks to coffee tours that help get acquainted with the coffee production process from start to finish. This is not only an educational experience, but also additional income for local communities, which contributes to the development of tourism and the economy of the region.
Thus, coffee from the Matambu region embodies the best traditions of Costa Rican coffee production. Thanks to high quality, environmental responsibility and support of local farmers, this coffee occupies a leading position in the world market and remains a favorite among coffee lovers.
