Costa Rican coffee has been recognized internationally and is one of major export products.

Tourists who visit the country and travel through the mountains and valleys in Costa Rica are greeted by plantations of coffee almost around throughout its territory.

La Copa 2013 is the international competition of excellence (Excellence 2013 Cup) for coffee and is a chance to showcase the coffees of Costa Rica.

On April 30 will begin to choose samples of coffee to participate in the cup of excellence, which will be held on June 19, 2013 and which is expected to select the best coffee in Costa Rica.

The tastings will be held for three days in the special offices of the Association of coffee of Costa Rica.

Costa Rican coffee includes a total of 70 specimens, which must obtain a minimum score of 85 points to advance to the next stage of international cupping.

Noelia Villalobos, Executive Director of the Association of fine coffee, said there are 12 national judges, who have the task of selecting the best coffee in the country.

Sweetness and acidity levels will be assessed by experts in these exceptional coffees.

This part of the competition will be held for 30 judges from countries such as Japan, United States and Australia, which have the responsibility for providing the results in international competition. The international coffee tasting will be held from 6 to 10 may at Hotel Herradura.

Zurquí mists (Brumas the Zurquí) last year obtained a score of 93.47 on a scale of 100 and broke the record with a very high score on behalf of the country. On that occasion, three Japanese companies paid $4,500 per quintal (46 kilos) for the incredible product of coffee from Costa Rica.
