The first arabica coffee plants in Costa Rica were imported from Ethiopia in 1779.

In the nineteenth century, the Costa Rican government strongly encouraged coffee production, and offered farmers plots of land for anybody who wanted to harvest the plants. The coffee plantation system in the country therefore developed largely as result of the government's open policy. Coffee beans soon became a major source of revenue, and are currently Costa Rica's number one export.

The finest Costa Rica coffee beans are typically grown at altitudes of 1200 to 1700 metres. Tarrazu coffee comes from San Marcos de Tarrazu in the highlands outside San Jose.
