【Note】
Global wise, Costa Rica is a small country producing coffee beans but blessed with idealistic environments, such as soil, altitude, rainfall, temperature. Since the majority of Costa Rican coffee beans are produced by micro- farmers, the total annual production remains small.  However, these micro-famers are taking efforts in developing quality to produce high grade coffee beans, so called specialty coffee, in addition to developing whole process of processing, milling.
Puente Tarrazu mill, Beneficio Ecologico Puente Tarrazu, is one of those micro-mills, which processes original Typica varietal with Pulped natural method, especially called Honey method.
