This September, Lovers Coffee had the opportunity to take part in the Costa Rica Trade & Investment Summit 2025, a high-level event that positioned Costa Rica as a regional hub for global business.
Organized by the Trade and Investment Promotion Agency of Costa Rica (PROCOMER), the Summit brought together more than 1,000 Costa Rican and multinational companies with 400 international buyers and investors from 45 countries, including the United States. Over five days, participants engaged in business meetings, investment rounds, site visits to business parks, and networking sessions.
For Lovers Coffee, joining this Summit represented a unique chance to connect directly with Costa Rican exporters across sectors such as agriculture, food, and advanced manufacturing, and to explore potential partnerships that align with our mission of delivering exceptional coffee experiences.
Costa Rica is globally recognized for the quality of its exports: it is the world’s largest exporter of pineapples, the third-largest exporter of bananas, and a trusted supplier of coffee and other high-quality products. This made the Summit an ideal platform for Lovers Coffee to expand our network and strengthen ties with a country known for its commitment to excellence, sustainability, and innovation.
Our participation reflects our continuous effort to seek out new origins, flavors, and partnerships that inspire us to bring the best to our customers. The Costa Rica Trade & Investment Summit not only opened doors to new opportunities but also reaffirmed our belief in building long-term relationships with suppliers that share our values.
Exploring Costa Rican Coffee from Farm to Cup
Lovers Coffee had the incredible opportunity to visit and explore the El Gusto Roastery facility and nearby farms. We gained valuable insights into how Costa Rican coffee is carefully roasted and processed, as well as the meticulous attention to detail that goes into crafting high-quality coffee. This hands-on experience deepened our understanding of the entire journey from farm to cup.

We also visited several coffee farms and mills, where we observed the cultivation and processing techniques that contribute to Costa Rica’s world-renowned coffee. These visits, along with tastings of exclusive micro-lots, allowed us to experience the unique and diverse flavor profiles that make Costa Rican coffee stand out.

Through our direct connections with coffee producers, including those at El Gusto Roastery, we learned about the importance of sustainability and quality control. The visit to ICAFE’s quality laboratories and soil analysis sessions reinforced our commitment to sourcing ethically produced coffee and ensuring the highest standards in every cup. This summit has enriched our journey and strengthened our dedication to delivering exceptional coffee experiences.
Exciting New Coffee Partnerships Ahead!
Lovers Coffee had the chance to meet many coffee farmers and roasters who are interested in selling their coffee through our marketplace. We had great conversations with these farmers and roasters and learned about the high-quality coffee they produce and the dedication they put into growing and roasting it. Their focus on quality and sustainability matches what we believe in, and we are excited to work together.
Several of these farmers and roasters showed interest in joining our marketplace, giving us the opportunity to offer even more amazing coffee to our customers. We’re excited to add new and unique coffee brands to our platform, helping our customers discover different flavors and experiences. These new partnerships will allow us to support more coffee producers around the world who share our passion for great coffee.
