The story
Feria Naranjo con Esencia a Cafe in Naranjo
Organised by the Municipality of Naranjo in Costa Rica's West Valley coffee region, this fair celebrates a canton whose producers claim four Cup of Excellence-winning coffees from a single square kilometre of land. A comparatively young addition to the local calendar, growing gradually across its editions, it centres on brewing demonstrations, barista exhibitions, traditional food and music.
Naranjo, a canton in Costa Rica's West Valley coffee region within Alajuela province, hosts this municipally organised coffee fair to celebrate the crop that defines the area's agricultural identity; local producers describe a single square kilometre within Naranjo as having produced four separate Cup of Excellence-winning coffees, a claim reflecting the area's genuine renown within Costa Rica's specialty-coffee sector even though it could not be independently verified beyond producer and local-tourism sources.
