About Costa Rica

Works best as filter but can be used for mild espresso-based drinks

Aquiares Estate is the largest Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee farm in Costa Rica. The farm is known for the quality of the high-altitude, shade-grown Arabica Coffee with profound aroma mixing chocolate and cinnamon beautifully, giving way to a delicate citric acidity. The cup is well balanced, complex and full of character. Flavours last long as the cup finishes nice and clean.

We work with Diego Robela and his family from the Aquiares Estate in Costa Rica. We visited this beautiful estate in 2016 and have built a strong relationship over the years. In the 1990’s Aquiares launched a program to enable workers to buy homes and land from the farm. To begin with most people thought it was too good to be true, but his long-term vision meant that people could invest more in education and wellbeing. These days the community of Aquiares has grown in the midst of the farm and is home to almost 2000 people and 96% of Aquiares employees own their own home.
