Growing their coffee on the slopes of Poas Volcano, Doka Estate offers a beautiful backdrop to your coffee tour. Throughout the tour your senses will be engaged: touching the dried fruit, smelling the beans, and tasting the final product. While you’re at Doka make sure you try their famous peaberry blend, you won’t want to miss it.

Monteverde

Monteverde’s coffee tour is very special. It lets you explore Costa Rica’s coffee culture at the grassroots level. The Cooperative of Santa Elena incorporates 42 small farms and recognizes them in unity, enabling the farms to share resources and cultivate in harmony. The Cooperative rotates which farms are visited during each tour, as not to get you too wired by the end of the day. They choose the farms based on cherry ripeness and availability, to give you the best experience possible at all times. The surrounding cloud forest will give java junkies a beautiful place to relax and sip a cup of joe. And for a real treat, try the cooperative’s sun-dried variety, which offers a delicious deviation from the norm.
