Costa Rican Coffee Tour

For our last day in San Jose, we decide to visit a coffee plantation - which is Costa Rica's number one export. We take a bus for a hour and arrive at Cafe Britt.

We get shown around by a very entertaining set of guides and see the process of Coffee from Plant (coffee grows as a red berry - didn't know that!) to cup! We splash out on the deluxe tour, which includes 4 course lunch and coffee tasting session. Drank alot of coffee!

Here is a picture of the coffee berries and then Toria drinking the end product !

We arrive back to the Hostel at 16:00. It is raining heavily, as it has done every afternoon since we arrived in Costa Rica - its the rainy season here!
