I finally made it over to the farm of one of my neighbors to check it out. They are gringos who have lived here almost 30 years. And they have been growing coffee for over 20 of those years. Cafe Cristina (named after their kids, Cris and Tina) was one of the first organic coffee farms in Costa Rica. Cimg7113
In addition to not using any chemicals, they use natural anti-erosion methods, hand-pick their coffee and sun dry it as well. They are incredibly environmentally conscious — and nice people too!

As you might imagine, their coffee is wonderful. There is something nice about drinking coffee that has been roasted that very day instead of waiting for it to be shipped to another country and sit on the shelves for months. They are offering a special. Buy 4 bags for $36 and have them shipped anywhere in the world (shipping included). Check out their website!
