We have worked with Don Alfonso and his family from the Aquiares Estate in Costa Rica for a number of years now. In the 1990’s Don Alfonso 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.  96% of Aquiares employees own their own home thanks to him. Nowadays Alfonso’s son, Diego, manages the farm. Under his lead, the farm has taken a fresh approach to specialty coffee and exploring the farm’s potential. 

Aquiares is the first carbon negative farm in Costa Rica. Learn more HERE!

This coffee is a peaberry coffee. Peaberry coffee is named for its pea-like appearance. Most coffee cherries contain two seeds, and Peaberries occur when only one seed, small and round in shape, develops in the cherry. This often leads to bright acidity, sweetness and concentrated flavors. This lot was mechanically washed and dried on raised beds in a solar dryer for 18 to 24 days.
