Dota Coffee

By Taina Gerena

We had visited two coffee plantations during our trip in Costa Rica. But this one was by far my favorite one. Dota Bean coffee is the best coffee I have ever tasted, and I am not a coffee person. Coffee usually makes me feel all hyper and jittery. I don’t like it. While we were out here, I was not gonna pass up the chance to taste coffee from Costa Rica in Costa Rica. That’s like a once in a lifetime experience. Right when the tour started, our tour guide gave us all a sample of some type of frappuccino that was made with their coffee. It was the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. It was heaven in my mouth. It was delicious. I really wish I can have some more or at least know the recipe. Moreover, we all went around the plantation and the factory and seen how the coffee is made. What was really interesting throughout the whole process was that when they pick the beans, they sell the “bad” ones to a different company, then that company rebrands it. I honestly would’ve never thought they would do that. I’m glad I bought two bags of Dota coffee out there. I let my parents try it and they fell in love with it. It is amazing.
