  • Info.

Aquiares Estate is Costa Rica’s largest coffee farm, sitting on volcanic soil in the Turrialba region. Founded in 1890 and revitalised by Alfonso Robelo in the 1980s, it remains a model of community-based, sustainable agriculture. Today, Alfonso’s son Diego leads the farm with a focus on innovation and carbon neutrality.

 

This lot features H17 - a hybrid of Caturra and Ethiopian landrace varieties - processed as an anaerobic natural. Whole cherries are sealed in tanks before drying, producing a fruit-forward cup with layered complexity. It’s a bold expression of Aquiares’ forward-thinking approach and a rare variety not often seen on menus.

 

"This unsual H17 varietal, processed as an anaerobic natural is everything I'm looking for in a coffee. It's fruity and complex, with some intense and funky notes of tropical fruit and spice to complement."

- Nicola Rapisardi, Front of House Supervisor, Fitzrovia
