It all started on our trip to the Doka Estate Coffee Tour located in Sabanilla, Alajuela. This estate was recognized as the best coffee estate in Costa Rica by the Associación Semana International del Café (who knew there was such a thing?). Our tour started off with a scrumptious breakfast that consisted of gallo pinto, fried plantains, eggs, some fresh tropical fruit, and most importantly, coffee. After breakfast, we were off to a tour of the coffee estate to learn all about the coffee-bean making process.
