A short drive from San Jose, within miles of Costa Rica’s active volcanoes, nestled in an organic coffee plantation is theDinca Rosa Blanca Inn. Since 1985, Teri, a Taoist Tai-Chi instructor, and Glenn, an artist, started with one wish: to be an eco-friendly hotel that leaves the minimum possible trace. Examples of efforts include hiding their electrical system underground to avoid harming wildlife and reusing the coffee pulp as fertilizer. Follow an experienced guide through the coffee plantation to learn about the high-quality organic coffee produced here, taste ripe coffee berries (if the season coincides), and participate in a catación (coffee-cupping) to compare the aromas of the Costa Rican sacred bean.
