Step into the world of Costa Rican coffee with an unforgettable experience!

Watch raw green beans transform into aromatic roasted coffee, and learn how roast levels create unique tastes. Then, join a professional-style cupping session, savoring aromas, acidity, and body just like the experts.

Stroll through our vibrant coffee garden, see the plants up close, and discover surprising facts about their growth and harvest. Midway, take a 40-minute break to relax and enjoy a delicious lunch.

Afterward, it’s your turn behind the espresso machine! Learn to pull the perfect shot, steam silky milk, and create latte art—hearts, rosettas, and more. This fun, hands-on activity is the highlight for many.

We’ll finish with a friendly Q&A, plenty of photo opportunities, and lasting memories. You’ll leave not only inspired but with a new appreciation for every cup you drink!
