Award-Winning Costa Rican Inn Offers Tours of Certified Organic Coffee Farm
Santa Barbara de Heredia, Costa Rica-- Finca Rosa Blanca Country Inn, situated above the beautiful Central Valley of Costa Rica, is an exclusive hideaway that was built with the goal of creating an ecological haven and a sustainable tourism destination in a high-quality, aesthetic environment for visitors who want to experience the biodiversity of Costa Rica. The inn has 30 acres of hard bean coffee which is certified organic by an international organization called OKO Garantie and is certified sustainable by the Rain Forest Alliance and CICAFE, the Costa Rican National Organization for Coffee.

The inn is located 4000 feet above sea level on a temperate plateau in an environment that is ideal for producing some of the world’s best coffee in the lush volcanic soil, and this coffee is an integral part of the guest experience. Guests of the inn are encouraged to participate in the picking, processing and roasting of Finca Rosa Blanca coffee. Visitors can take a tour of the farm and learn about the history of the coffee including how coffee was discovered, traded, and consumed, while touring the stunning landscape. They are shown the entire process of organic cultivation and harvest, including participating in the picking of coffee during the harvest season which takes place during the months of October through January. Visitors are shown the processing of coffee, including cleaning the berries and drying the coffee, and ultimately roasting their own coffee

Visitors also learn how the experts discern and rate gourmet coffee by participating in a “coffee cupping” session with famous Barista and Tour Guide, Leo Vergnani. The walk ends with a visit to their famous coffee bar participants learn to make cappuccino, café latte, and espresso coffee. After a tour, guests can sit out on the spacious deck and enjoy the views of the volcanoes above and coffee fields below while learning more about the benefits to the environment and the community of an organic sustainable coffee farm.

The experience can be topped off with a “Finca Rosa Blanca Organic Coffee & Almond Buff” in their luxury spa. The naturally exfoliating and exhilarating properties of coffee from Rosa Blanca’s own organic plantation plus native almonds combine in this unique Costa Rican body blend. Cleansed and polished, the skin is then moisturized with natural oils and a smooth body massage completes the spa experience.

This tour plus the cupping session and the coffee break and pastries session lasts about 2 hours. Cost is $25 per person including coffee break beverage and pastries. As the tour includes some hiking, the inn provides visitors with hiking sticks, and slickers in case of rain.
