Outside of Turrialba, Costa Rica tourists can visit the Golden Bean coffee plantation, where Hacienda Real Coffee is grown and processed for domestic sale and export. Hacienda Coffee is a sustainably-produced coffee, UTZ certified www.utzcertified.org.

A tour is given on the plantation, where the history of coffee is explained as well as the coffee harvest and production processes. Careful attention is given to the sustainable practices and environmental concern of the plantation's management and staff.

The tour guide explains how everything is conserved and reused within the coffee factory. Water is cleaned and reused, and all the wood from the coffee plants is put to usage for fuel and other purposes. Additionally, the fungus that grows on coffee cherries is killed with natural anti-fungicides. The Golden Bean process is totally organic and respectable of the physical environment.

After the tour, there is a coffee brewing session. Coffee is brewed and analyzed for potency and taste, and samples are prepared for the guests. Yum!!! Worth the price of admission alone!!!
