A delicious, creamy, fruity and round coffee from Acquiares Estate! This natural processed coffee is absolutely delicious as espresso with tasting notes of blackberry jam, cocoa and dates.
Aquiares is one of Costa Rica's most historic coffee farms and sits high on the slopes of the Turrialba Volcano, nestled between the Aquiares and Turrialba Rivers. Aquiares' literally means 'land between rivers' in the indigenous Hueter langauge. In 1890, Aquiares was founded by farmers looking to take advantage of Costa Rica's new railroad to the port of Limón. The farm built its own mill, focusing on the washed-coffee processes that are indicative of Costa Rican coffee. All their coffee is grown at a high altitude, from 820 to 1400 MASL. The terrain allows for varieties like Caturra to flourish in the rich volcanic soil, cool night temperatures and high humidity. Today, the Estate is the largest continuous coffee farm in the country, covering 924 hectares. For this lot, recollection of cherries + fermentation process. Drying for 32 hours in a Guardiola, with temperature between 45 and 55 degrees. Sun-drying for 2 to 3 weeks.
