Thanks for your question! Yes, this is how we traditionally brew coffee in Costa Rica. However, the item you see is not a fruit or vegetable but a specially-crafted reusable canvas filter in a gourd-like shape. It retains water for a little longer for our signature rich bodied coffee.
El Silencio Lodge & Spa is a planet-friendly luxury hotel located in Costa Ricas lush central volcanic valley.
Silencio, Spanish for silence, is befitting of a destination where daily stress hushes and the sounds of nature bloom.
This Costa Rican hotel pampers guests with five hundred private acres of carbon-offsetting tropical cloud forest, hidden waterfalls, a nature-immersed spa, yoga, hiking, meditation, and healthy organic cuisine.
