Just to the south of Costa Rica’s capital, San José, lie the majestic Tarrazu mountains. Nestled between the Pacific Coast, the Central Valley and the high peaks of this mountain range, Tarrazu is one of the world’s most famous coffee growing regions. This magnificent region, also known as the Los Santos Zone (Spanish: Zona de los Santos), is widely believed to grow the most and the best Strictly Hard Bean arabica coffee in all of Costa Rica, at altitudes of 1,200 to 2,000 metres. The rich volcanic soil and the high altitude, combined with ample sunlight, precipitation and optimal temperature, together make it possible to obtain this unique, exceptional coffee.
