Britt Coffee Tour from San José

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Our guests are welcomed in an area surrounded by gardens where they can relax while enjoying our gourmet coffee. To understand the coffee cultivation process, what better way to visit our seedlings, where the experience begins, guided by experts, with an approach to the seed that gives rise to the whole process, followed by a tour through its different stages of growth until it becomes a plant ready to be transplanted to the coffee plantation. The tour continues to our toaster plant, where you will learn about the characteristics that an expert taster looks for when choosing the perfect grain to toast; You will share with our guides the experience of roasting a coffee sample, and you will directly perceive the changes that coffee bean undergoes during this process, until you finish with that delicious aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Once comfortably seated in our amphitheater, visitors are ready to enjoy a demonstration of cupping. This part of the visit reaffirms our passion for coffee and the careful process involved in each of the stages, to achieve that gourmet quality drink.

• 4Stand-up Comedy

  Our tour guide, who reminded us of Gilligan with a mustache, was hilarious while at the same time very educational. If you want to know about coffee and taste some along the way, this is the tour for you. The 4 instead of the 5 has to do with the terribly long time we spent getting there (1.5 hours) and the way back to our hotel (2 hours). It would have been nice to know this beforehand.

• 5We traveled to Costa Rica...

  We traveled to Costa Rica a day early to join an organized tour, but had an extra day before joining that tour. Our friend had never visited a coffee plantation so I suggested this particular tour and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be the same site when we did a ship excursion as part of a 2004 Panama Canal cruise. Husband now has mobility issues, but he was still able to walk the well laid out paths. There was plenty of seating along the way. Our guide knew EVERYTHING about the production of coffee -- she was very lively and animated. The various displays were in English/Spanish -- everything was really well presented. The included lunch was filling. Very nice gift shop as well as a bakery with what looked like yummy goodies.

  The Britt Coffee Farm is beautiful! Luis was our tour guide & he's fantastic - Very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor! The cafe was great & the gift shop has lots of good options to choose from - good samples of coffees, chocolates & brittles. A stop by the butterfly garden is also a must. I highly recommend this tour and would take it again!

About San José

San José is Costa Rica's capital in the high Central Valley, a working city of theatres, markets and museums, close to volcanoes and coffee farms.

San José sits in a mountain-ringed valley at about 1,100 metres, where the climate is mild year-round. The neoclassical National Theatre, opened in 1897, is the city's finest building, and the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum and the Jade Museum show the artistry of ancient peoples. The Central Market, a maze of food stalls, coffee sellers and craft shops, keeps its old rhythm, and Barrio Amón and Barrio Escalante have grand houses and newer cafés.

Top-ranked sights in San José: Arenal Volcano National Park, San Jose Central Market (Mercado Central), National Theater (Teatro Nacional).
