This wasn’t just a coffee tour—it was a journey into the heart of Costa Rica’s coffee culture. Chris welcomed us with warmth and wisdom, sharing his family’s legacy of farming and his passion for sustainable coffee farming. It felt like we were being let in on a sacred tradition.

What made this tour truly unforgettable was the deep dive into the science and art of coffee. It was more like a mixology class than a typical tasting—he showed us how brewing methods and temperature can completely transform flavor profiles. I kept saying, “You’re a magician!” because that’s exactly what it felt like.

One wise person summed it up perfectly:
“This tour is for travelers, not tourists. It’s for those who want to experience the culture and immerse themselves in it.”
And that’s exactly what we did.

If you want a true understanding of coffee’s history, the science behind the brew, and the soul of a farmer who lives and breathes his craft—this is the tour to take.

This is definitely a great experience for the coffee nerds! Chris led us on a short walk through his family's sanctuary and told us all about the plants and coffee preparation process from planting to drying. Following the nature walk, he took us into a tasting room and gave us an in-depth lesson on coffee brewing and pairing. The coffee and food provided was delicious! Chris is incredibly intelligent and obviously loves his work as a coffee grower and barista. This is definitely a great experience for those that love a good cup of black coffee!

Chris’s love and enthusiasm for coffee is contagious! My husband and I learned a lot and enjoyed the workshop tremendously.

Chris was amazing. The best coffee I have ever had!
