“From the colourful oxcarts used to transport coffee in Costa Rica to the early railroads, the National Theatre made possible by the coffee industry and the modern coffee plantations today, coffee has been a huge and vibrant part of Costa Rican history and culture for many years,” says Robert Graney, director of food and beverage,Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica. “We are excited to open our new and lively Café Britt coffee house where Four Seasons guests can truly enjoy the fantastic coffee and flavour of Costa Rica.”
Coffee production began in Costa Rica around 1779 and the country began exporting coffee to nearby countries including Panama and Columbia in the 1820s. With the beginning of coffee exports to London, England via The Monarch ship in 1843, Costa Rican coffee became known around the world for its quality and taste. In 1897, the National Theatre opened in San Jose, Costa Rica with its famous décor and ceiling mural of the Allegory of Coffee and Bananas.
Café Britt was founded in 1985 as the first gourmet coffee maker in Costa Rica. Café Britt coffee has been served at Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica since the Resort’s opening in 2004. In addition to coffee drinks, Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica incorporates local coffee into many of the dishes served at its restaurants, such as the Costa Rican coffee-rubbed steaks served at Caracol steakhouse.
