Walk through Sitio de Mata Village in Turrialba, you will find a church with stained glass windows over a century old, enchanting gardens, an orchid greenhouse .
You will also participate in the processing of the products of coffee plants, sugar cane, and macadamia nuts. Look at the complicated steps in preparing macadamias-which are just shaken from the trees during harvest-then are immersed in water (the best sink, while the others float), hand-selected, then roasted for you to taste: salted, sugared or chocolate coated!
This excursion into the rural Costa Rica of yesteryear is a vivid and remarkable experience, part of which is our organically cultivated brown sugar, including the typical tapa dulce, or brown sugar cakes made in wooden molds. Be sure to take a taste! You will drink our own gourmet coffee prepared by a professional barista, or coffee specialist, and finish with an exotic cocktail featuring our coffee liqueur, organic brown sugar and macadamia essence.
