While traveling from Tortuguero National Park to La Fortuna, our tour group made a stop at Mi Cafecito Coffee Tour, situated in fertile volcanic soil at around 1000 m altitude. The closest community is Sarapiqui.
Mi Cafecito Coffee Tour is run by a non-profit organization that brings together over 200 small coffee growers. The group works together to process and market locally grown beans (in the principles of Fair Trade), and run tours, a quality restaurant, and gift shop.

The tour is informative, going through the steps involved in growing coffee cherries, removing the seeds (beans), and the process of drying and roasting them. I've previously described this in greater detail in my post from the Doka plantation, to which I refer the interested reader.
