I won't comment about the rest of your statement except to agree forcefully about the high quality
of Costa Rican coffee. The producers & government coffee institute chose years ago to favor high
quality specialty coffee instead of trying to compete for the cheapest mass produced market like
Brasil & other places. A wise choice, now they are immune to the stock market's ever fluctuating
coffee future trading.

I am a coffee aficionado & have next to me a cup of Monteverde Dark Roast coffee (need two mugs to
start my day). :) Besides being Fair Trade, the taste is simply incredible, the COOP is made of 75
small producers with an average patch of only 1 hectare each. More info here but their online store is down @ the present, this a good place to buy it too (other fair
trade coffees also offered). The Dota/Los Santos region's coffee you linked too is also very good, that mountainous region doted with
small villages is truly beautiful. I visited their small coffee processing plant & in fact, stayed
overnight in a cheap Pension right next to it, in front of the soccer filed. :)
