A New Adventure in Coco

As a professional surfer, my life is a constant search for the perfect wave, but every now and then, I find myself drawn to the land for a different kind of adventure. This time, it was the allure of Costa Rican coffee that pulled me away from the ocean’s embrace. My wife and I, both lovers of the nomadic lifestyle, decided to explore the rich coffee culture of Coco, a place known for its sun-soaked beaches and vibrant surf scene.

The journey began at the Simbiosis Bistro, a charming spot nestled in the heart of Coco. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee greeted us as we stepped inside, a scent so inviting that it felt like a warm hug. Here, we were introduced to the world of Costa Rican coffee, a world that honors the hard work of its producers and celebrates the traceability of every bean. It was a refreshing change of pace from the usual surf reports and wave analyses, and I found myself captivated by the stories behind each cup.

Discovering the Art of Coffee Roasting

The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the coffee roasting experience. At Simbiosis Bistro, we were given the opportunity to taste coffee from two micro farms, each with its own unique flavor profile. The passion and dedication of the producers were evident in every sip, and it was clear that this was more than just a beverage; it was a labor of love.

We also participated in a coffee class, where we learned about the intricate process of coffee roasting and the importance of fair trade practices. It was fascinating to see how much care and attention goes into every step, from the selection of the beans to the final roast. As someone who spends most of his time analyzing wave conditions and weather data, it was a refreshing change to dive into the world of coffee and learn about its complexities.

A New Appreciation for Costa Rican Coffee

Our time in Coco was a reminder that there’s more to life than just chasing waves. The experience at Simbiosis Bistro opened my eyes to the beauty and intricacy of Costa Rican coffee, and I left with a newfound appreciation for the producers who make it all possible.

As we sipped our final cup of coffee, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to explore a different side of Costa Rica. The sun was setting over the ocean, casting a golden glow over the waves, and I knew that this was a moment I would cherish forever. Whether you’re a fellow surfer or just someone looking for a unique adventure, I highly recommend checking out the Costa Rican Coffee Roasters experience in Coco. It’s a journey that will leave you with a deeper understanding of the land and its people, and a taste of coffee that you’ll never forget.
