Caramel, Grapefruit, Strawberry, Milk Chocolate
We're pleased to offer this unique and impressive microlot from Aquiares Estate in Costa Rica - a progressive, carbon-negative farm with exemplary sustainability practices. In the cup, we find this anaerobic natural to have a silky caramel body, great aromatics of ripe fruit - apricot and strawberry, a rich milk chocolate sweetness and mouthfeel with just the right amount of bright, grapefruit acidity.
Black plum, sweet molasses, macadamia, creamy
The Esperanza variety is a relatively new F1 hybrid unique to Aquiares Estate. Originally identified as L04A05 when it was developed, producer Diego Robelo chose the name Esperanza, which translates to 'Hope' in English, to indicate the hope that experimental varieties like this offer for the future of coffee farming in a changing climate.
Candied cherry, toasted sesame and orange zest
Among the newest in our lineup of coffees is a delicious Bourbon varietal from Los Pirineos farm in El Salvador. Produced by Diego Baraona — a fifth-generation coffee producer carrying on the tradition and legacy of over 130 years of experience cultivated by his family.
We find some truly unique flavors in this coffee - it’s warming, like mulled spices with candied cherry, toasted sesame, and sweet buttery chick-o-stick candies complemented by juicy orange acidity.
Plum, melon, papaya, and caramel
We are delighted to present Mariana - an offering that embodies the spirit of coffee innovation at Aquiares Estate in Turrialba, Costa Rica. Produced by Diego Robelo, the Mariana variety has recently placed into the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition - a milestone for Aquiares and the Turrialba region.
You'll taste dark fruits like plum and black cherry in the cup, swimming in a rich caramel sweetness. As the cup cools, some playful papaya, melon and cantaloupe notes emerge. The mouthfeel is juicy and refreshing with a super clean, crisp finish.
