Coffee production in Costa Rica commenced in 1779 at Meseta Central. The region had an ideal climatic condition and fertile soil for coffee plantations. Understanding the potential of this product, the government encouraged the production of coffee. At that time, the government even offered plots to farmers, who wished to harvest coffee.
It is clear that the government policies played a huge role in taking this gourmet product to the best coffee shops in Minnesota and across the globe. Coffee gained so much prominence in 19th century Costa Rica, that it started outselling profitable businesses in industries like tobacco, sugar, and cacao.Willows Coffee is grown under green canopies at Hacienda Miramonte, located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica.
