Costa Rica Aquiares Estate

We’re proud to share this coffee from our Direct Trade partner, Diego Robelo of Aquiares Estate in Turrialba, Costa Rica. Working directly with producers like Diego allows us to connect our customers to exceptional coffee and the people behind it.

This lot is an F1 Esperanza, a groundbreaking hybrid developed by CATIE, CIRAD, and World Coffee Research. It brings together Sarchimor T-5296, known for its strong resistance to leaf rust, and the Ethiopian landrace ET25, prized for its natural sweetness and floral character. Together, they produce a coffee that thrives in Costa Rica’s volcanic soils and delivers a clean, vibrant cup.

In the cup, expect notes of sweet honey, toasted nuts, and caramel, balanced by a smooth body and refreshing finish.

As coffee farmers ourselves, we have a deep appreciation for producers like Diego who are helping shape the future of coffee. His work at Aquiares—one of Costa Rica’s most sustainable and socially responsible farms—is a great example of how quality, innovation, and responsible farming can go hand in hand.
