This lot is 100% ‘Esperanza’ variety – a hybrid of Caturra and the Ethiopia 531 variety, developed by various Central American coffee research institutes. Esperanza marries high cup quality with high resistance to disease – particularly the ojo de gallo fungus. Aquiares has found the variety very well-suited to the farm’s high elevation (grown above 1,200 meters in most cases) and as consistently yielding a quality cup. The variety’s fruity profile lends itself well to honey and natural processing, which is why the Robelos decided on processing this small lot using the Red Honey method.
 
Our Roasted beans are 100% Arabica sourced from Aquiares Farm which is one of Costa Rica’s largest and most historic coffee farms; which sits high on the fertile slopes of Turrialba Volcano.
