Tell me more about this coffee

Perched high on the fertile slopes of Turrialba Volcano is the renowned Aquiares Estate. As one of Costa Rica’s largest and most historic coffee farms, Aquiares produces high-quality coffee like this naturally processed Centroamericano micro-lot.

Managed by the Robelo family, the estate has been leading the Costa Rican speciality coffee production for many years and we’re so excited to be able to share the new season crop of Centroamericano with you.

The estate manages its entire coffee production, from seedling cultivation to harvesting and milling. The natural process brings out the complex flavours of this coffee. Coffee cherries are skillfully hand-picked before undergoing a detailed drying process. The coffee is sorted in flotation tanks, pre-dried in a solar dryer greenhouse and dried on raised beds. Finally, the coffee is sent to us for roasting.

Aquiares sets an example by producing high-quality Arabica coffee whilst preserving its natural surroundings, supporting a local community of 1,800 people and prioritising worker wellbeing.

The estate protects water sources and natural forests, creating natural corridors connecting preserved forests in the river valleys. Tree planting and reduced chemical fertiliser usage have resulted in a net carbon-negative balance.

The Centroamericano varietal is known for producing coffees with playful sweetness and a subtle boozy note and it certainly delivers in this incredible-tasting filter coffee.
