Tasting Notes: mango, papaya, blueberry
Farm: Aquiares Estate
Origin: Turrialba, Cartago Province
Process: Anaerobic Natural
Variety: Centroamericano
Altitude: 1200-1400m
As one of the oldest coffee farms in Costa Rica, Aquiares Estate has history. It’s modern incarnation began in the 1970s when the Robelo family purchased and transformed the farm into what it is today. Innovation and sustainability underscore Aquiares’ entire ethos, from developing new climate change resistant varieties, to experimenting with new processing methods, to achieving Carbon Neutral status. This lot is 100% Centroamericano - a hybrid of the Ethiopian landrace variety Sudan Rume and the pest resistant Sarchimor. Each year we buy 4 processing methods of the Centro to showcase the impact of different fermentation styles. This anaerobic natural is syrupy, funky, and chock-full of tropical aromas. We’re talking dark berries, papaya, mango, and a hint of cacao nib in the finish. One for the lovers of funk and fruit!
