Coffee and Chocolate in Costa Rica – December 7-13, 2025
Description
Imagine experiencing the aroma of freshly roasted coffee and that first sip of a bold, rich brew just minutes from where the beans are grown. After an authentic Costa Rican breakfast, you walk through the beautiful mountain plantation, following the process of growing coffee from plant to the cup you just enjoyed. While birds call out from the lush canopy above, the sun filters through vibrant green leaves, warming your skin as you walk through cacao plantations, where ripe pods crack open to reveal the bitter-sweet beans inside. A master chocolatier hands you a piece of handcrafted dark chocolate—smooth, silky, with hints of fruit and spice that melt slowly on your palate. The soft crunch of cocoa nibs and the scent of fermenting cacao linger in the air, grounding you in the experience. From bean to bar, from crop to cup, every moment awakens your senses on this immersive journey into Costa Rica’s rich world of coffee and chocolate.
