Acquiares Red Honey
Cartago is a province of central Costa Rica and borders the provinces of Limón to the east and San Jose to the west. It enjoys humid tropical weather, intensified by the altitude and the presence of surrounding mountains.
This coffee is sourced from the Robelo Family and their Aquiares Estate farm in Turrialba, Cartago. The name Aquiares means “land between rivers” in the Huetar indigenous language. It is the largest farm in Costa Rica and home to 1 800 people. Although the farm was founded in 1890, Alfonso Robelo is the man responsible for its transformation a century later. Aquiares had more than 200 employee homes on the farm, but because none owned their home, there was great insecurity in the workforce. Alfonso saw this as an opportunity to strengthen the company by having people feel pride in the coffee they produce. He evolved the farm into a small town where workers purchased their own homes. Today, Aquiares remains a model of sustainable agriculture.
The resulting cup reminds us of blood orange, rooibos aand toasted marshmallows.
