Fodor's Review:
The producer of Costa Rica's most popular export-quality coffee, Café Britt, gives a lively tour that highlights Costa Rica's history of coffee cultivation through a theatrical presentation that is admittedly a bit hokey. Your "tour guides" are professional actors, and pretty good ones at that, so if you don't mind the song and dance, it's fun. Take a short walk through the coffee farm and processing plant, and learn how professional coffee tasters distinguish a fine cup of java. One major difference between this tour and that of Doka Estate in Alajuela is that Doka takes you through the mill. Britt, ever the innovator, provides a similar tour add-on by request.
- Cost: $20 tour only, $27 with transportation, $35 with transportation and lunch
- Open: Tours Dec.–May, daily at 9, 11, and 3; June–Nov., daily at 11
