This is the second year of purchasing the Aquiares Estate, Costa Rica, and we are pretty excited about this coffee. 

Aquiares means Land Between Rivers in the Huetar indigenous language.
 
Aquiares, one of Costa Rica’s largest and most historic coffee farms, sits high on the fertile slopes of Turrialba Volcano. Producing coffee continuously for over a century, the farm has developed an enduring model for growing high-quality Arabica coffee, protecting a stunning natural setting, and supporting a thriving local community of 1,800 people. Established by British farmers in 1890, Aquiares was one of the first estates to produce and export Costa Rican coffee.
 
‘Don Alfonso’ coffees bear the name of Don Alfonso Robelo, patriarch of one of the owning families of the estate who took over farm management in 1992 and made the social welfare of farm workers and the wider community one of his main priorities.
 
As we stay true to our green coffee selection, we are thrilled to showcase the fully washed Caturra varietal. This fully washed coffee is a good representation of high-quality Costa Rican coffee.
