Introduction:
What? :
On our way to Poas
Volcano Park we made a short stop at Hacienda Alsacia Starbucks Coffee Farm.
Looks like that
Hacienda Alsacia, scenic 240-hectare coffee farm is Starbucks first and only
coffee farm that combined a coffee store with amazing viewing deck and it also
has organized tours in the farm (Adults - $30.00).
Coffee:
Arabica beans
were first introduced to Costa Rica in the 1700s. Today coffee is an important
part of Costa Rica economy.
To help ensure
the future of coffee, the mission of Hacienda Alsacia is clear: Create best
practices to make growing coffee more profitable for small-scale farms; develop
the next generation of disease-resistant, high-quality coffee; and share information
and resources freely with farmers around the world.

Where? :
Hacienda
Alsacia Starbucks Coffee Farm is located on the slopes of Poás Volcano, less
than one hour away from Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose.
If you are
coming from San Jose, use road 130 that is climbing out of Alajuela, it will be
changed into road 712 to reach the location.
If you are on
your way back from Poas Volcano Park than take road 146 and then turn left into
road 712.
