Coffee Tour?
 
I would love to tour a coffee plantation on my upcomin CR trip. Does anyone have any recomendations that will fit into my Arenal/MA Itinerary?
Thanks,
Adam

We did the Doka Coffee Estate tour and really enjoyed it. They take you through the entire process: tasting, out to the field, picking, roasting, etc. They also have a nice little gift shop on site. It's a very pretty property.

Thanks! Probably not gonna be able to fit something like that in. Cafe Milagro it is! Sounds like they have some great coffee to bring home!

The Cafe Milagro that we went to was just a little coffee and sandwich shop - do they have a plantation you can visit?

No, but I think they roast there own coffee and the reviews say their bean is excellent. Kinda a second option since we probably won't make it to a plantation.

Ah, okay, they also had some killer coffee shakes that are great if you need a Starbucks fix. They tasted great after hiking around in MA.
