Imagine
following the journey of a coffee bean on the plantation –
from the plant to a cup of gourmet coffee. When you take the
CoffeeTour at Café Britt you’ll do exactly that.
Our professional acting troupe, dressed in traditional garb,
will escort you through a multi-media, interactive tour through
the history of coffee. On our "finca", as the plantation
is called in Spanish, your day starts on six-acres of coffee
fields, tropical gardens and coffee processing facilities.
When you arrive, you are greeted by a breathtaking view from
our lookout point with two of Costa Rica’s most famous
volcanoes on one side and a spectacular panoramic view of
the Central Valley on the other. We’ll teach you all
about coffee cultivation and not just by giving you the facts
feel free to pick a few ripe cherries to taste their sweetness
or take a few of the dried beans home to grow a plant of your
own!
From the fields, we’ll take you into our roasting and
packaging facilities where you’ll soak in the aroma of
roasting coffee and learn all about this magical process that
turns a red coffee cherry into a delicious cup of java Then,
in our state-of-the-art theater, sit back and watch a multimedia
play and presentation of coffee’s place in world history.
Learn about how deeply coffee culture is woven into the history
and people of Costa Rica – and be prepared to have a
few good laughs while you’re at it. Although incredibly
knowledgeable, our troupe has a rather short serious threshold!

Feel free to peruse "La Choza
del Café", our factory outlet store and
sample all the coffee, espresso, cappuccino or coffee
liquor you like. We have a huge selection of gourmet
coffees and souvenirs at factory prices and we’ll

the tour is over enjoy lunch at the open-air where you
can look out over the tropical gardens and coffee fields
at "Barva" volcano while you enjoy our tropical
buffet. We provide transportation from convenient pick-up
points in San José. We are located in "Heredia".
