ERNST COSTA RICA AQUIARES

Aquiares Estate is the largest farm in Costa Rica and the home of 1,800 people. Through targeted agricultural management, the introduction of new varieties and experimentation with processing, Aquiares has become a pioneer among specialty coffee producers in Costa Rica and all of Central America. Last year we presented a coffee from here and this year's harvest also convinced us.

With honey processing, the peel of the coffee cherries is removed with the help of a pulper, whereby part of the pulp remains attached to the bean. This thin layer of fruit mucus, called mucilage, causes the honey-like stickiness. After pulping, the beans are spread thinly on special drying beds. Aquiares Estate is available as a filter roast and has an elegant flavor profile of tangerine, rosehip and grape.
