Definitely a highlight of my vacation to Costa Rica. I absolutely loved to discover the inspiring work of Cafe Monteverde. My partner and I were very fortunate to learn so much about how coffee is grown, harvested and processed, sustainability in this industry, community empowerment and environmental awareness. We loved to finish the tour with a tasting workshop of the different roasts of coffee. Our guide Jorge was amazingly knowledgeable, kind and so charming. I feel way more mindful now about coffee now. Loved everything about our afternoon in Cafe Monteverde! Thanks for this unforgettable experience.

We were impressed by the care that the growers take for their coffee plants and the environment to ensure the sustainability of their farm. Half of their land is left as forest in and around the rows of coffee plants. The leaves and soil from the forest are added to the compost that eventually is used as mulch and provides a liquid used as a fertilizer. Orange trees dot the area because they bloom at the same time as the coffee and attract pollinators. We learned about different treatments of the beans before roasting (washed, natural and "honey" processes). Our tour guide was one of the owners and you could tell how passionate he is about coffee and the environment. You can buy their coffee online and have it shipped anywhere in the world!

We spent a fun and educational morning with Sergio, who was knowledgeable about coffee growing but also about the ecology and social enterprises linked to the coffee industry. It was a fascinating day where we picked coffee beans, toured the farm, saw the drying and roasting processes, and finished with a delicious coffee tasting. For a very small additional price they dropped us off and picked us up from our hotel, which I would recommend doing. I can’t wait to share the coffee I bought with family when I return home. Highly recommend cafe Monteverde for a coffee tour in the area.

We had a great tour of the farm while learning so much about the coffee growing and roasting process! It has increased my appreciation for coffee tremendously! We also really enjoyed tasting all of the different kinds of coffee in the context of understanding the different drying and roasting methods. We would definitely recommend.

My friend and I had an amazing tour given by Hiro. He walked us through the process of coffee from the soil to picking the beans. At the end we got to try many different types of delicious coffee. Cafe Monteverde promotes sustainable practices. It was great to learn about and I would recommend the tour to anyone!

This beautiful coffee farm produces wonderful coffee. The farm tour is interesting and informative. The coffee tasting is fun and delicious. The employees are friendly and welcoming. We have taken this tour twice and loved it both times.

Great morning on the coffee tour. We had a 1 hour walk around the coffee plantation and got to pick our own coffee beans. Then we were shown how the fruits are dried and turned into coffee beans, and after that we saw the roasting process. We tried 6 different coffees (light, medium, dark, natural etc). I would really recommend the tour. We got picked up from our hotel in Santa Elena.

Went here as part of a Gate 1 tour group. They served us a delicious lunch followed by a farm tour. We learned so much about the coffee growing and processing, and had a fun coffee tasting at the end. Very enjoyable and our guide was so knowledgeable. Great opportunity to support a local business and learn more about Costa Rica's coffee production.

We had a wonderfull visit with our guide who spoke an excellent french ! very friendly and knowing lots of things about coffee and costa rica. The tasting time is a great time ! We had the meal at the farm, it was delicious. Thanks again to all the people we met in Cafe Monterverde offee tour, best coffee in CR !

I can't recommend the Cafe de Monteverde coffee tour enough! Our experience from start to finish was amazing and beyond our expectations! We bought the tour tickets that included lunch, so we were escorted to the cafeteria when we arrived about an hour before our tour started. We were served an amazing vegetarian lunch, cup of coffee, specialty drink, and a rice dessert! The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. Norman was our guide and he was so kind and friendly! He answered all of our questions and provided thorough explanations about everything he showed us throughout the tour. He has loads of experience having been there for 13 years! We learned so much about the process of making coffee (from planting all the way to roasting/serving) and this was one of the best experiences we had in all of Costa Rica! The farm is absolutely beautiful and they focus on sustainability and natural processes, which we absolutely loved. We enjoyed learning about everything from how the plants grow to making organic fertilizers and everything in between. Since we went during harvest season, we even got to pick handfuls of coffee fruits, as well as to try several different varieties of the fruits. There is also a massive Guava tree on the farm that was so beautiful and the biggest we've ever seen. At the end of the tour, you get to do a coffee tasting where you get to try all of their different varieties (natural process, honey process, light roast, medium roast, and dark roast). We bought several bags of coffee in their shop and are already thinking we may not have bought enough! A few days later, we did another coffee tour in La Fortuna, which was also fantastic in its own right, but it feels worth mentioning that we learned the most about coffee farming and had the most immersive experience at Cafe de Monteverde! Unbelievable experience overall!
