Doka Estate

The Doka Estate produces some of the country’s most flavorful coffee. The Estate is located on the slopes of the Poas Volcano and provides wonderful tours that are both educational and entertaining. Volcanic slopes are amongst some of the best coffee growing regions due to the altitude and the fertility of the soils. Since 1908, Doka has been a family of coffee producers.
