Starbucks Coffee From Bean to Cup— and the People Along the Way

For the first time in Starbucks history the entire life cycle of sustainably grown, high quality Arabica coffee from seedling to picking, milling, roasting and the craft of brewing in a café can be seen on its Costa Rican coffee farm, Hacienda Alsacia. On March 7, 2018 Hacienda Alsacia will opened its doors to a new 46,000 square foot visitor center to immerses guests in the Starbucks approach to ethical sourcing and innovative coffee tree hybrid research, part of the company’s $100 Million investment in an open sourced farmer support program to help make coffee the world’s first sustainably sourced agriculture product.
