Coffee is consumed religiously here. It is not abnormal to see people with coffee at any time of the day. It is served with breakfast and offered after every meal usually. I still have not developed a taste for coffee and I do not think I ever will even though my host family offers it every day and so do the waiters at every restaraunt.
I have noticed that many of the coffee plants in Costa Rica are grown out in the sun. It is a real rarety to see coffee grown under shade trees and this is supposed to be better for the environmentand and the taste of the coffee. It seems like that is a good enough reason for people to grow it that way so there must be a major downside. It must be a slower process and or more expensive to use shade trees.
I have also noticed that Cafe Britt coffee is everywhere. It is in every shop that we stop in, every tourist place that offers souviners offers Cafe Britt coffee, most restaraunts have it, my host family drinks it, and I even saw a bag at the local bar. They really move quite a bit of coffee and it is obvious that they make profits not only on tourists coming to the farm but also by moving a huge volume of coffee. I can not name any other type of coffee that I have seen but Cafe Britt is everywhere...almost literally.
