About Sintercafe
In 1986 a group of visionary Costa Ricans met for the first time to promote the excellent quality of Costa Rican coffee by celebrating the International Coffee Week (SINTERCAFE, Semana Internacional del Café), which eventually became one of the most outstanding coffee event held in producing countries.
Sintercafe, now declared of public interest, is held every November, and for the last 27 years has been organized by a non-profit organization to bring together Costa Rican growers and potential buyers in a series of activities.
