Cafe Britt Coffee Tour

We'd heard many friends highlight the Coffee Britt tour as a "must-do" activity, and after participating we definately concur. It's a fun, engaging, drama production that showcases the ever-important coffee industry for Costa Rica. It's located in Heredia very close to our home base and the gardens are beautifully located amidst a coffee plantation. The kids really enjoyed the hands-on learning that really impressed upon them the history and art of producing coffee. Brad and I remain non-coffee drinkers, although the pressure is heating up!

Costa Rica's largest coffee producer.

Outside the restaurant and gift shop, you'd be amazed the different industry products they make (chocolate covered coffee beans, tons of different coffee flavors, wine, candy, drink mixes, clothing, jewelry, art, etc) definately tailored to the tourist industry. We enjoyed a wonderful typical CR lunch; tomatoe soup, gallo pinto (rice & beans), fajita style chicken, sauted vegetables, tortillas, salad, rolls, fruit juices and fruit for dessert.

Then she warmed up and became a tour guide.

Admiring the beautiful gardens! We never tire of our amazing surroundings.
