What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Costa Rica

Not stated

region, farm or estate, producer, process, variety, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Species

“Producing coffee continuously for over a century, the farm has developed an enduring model for growing high-quality Arabica coffee, protecting a stunning natural setting, and supporting a thriving local community of 1,800 people.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

“Opening with rich, musty notes of prune and the sweetness of ripe plum, this coffee gradually unfolds to reveal gentle warming tones of sweet brown spice, leaving a smooth, full-bodied impression on the palate.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“Aquiares, one of Costa Rica’s largest and most historic coffee farms, sits high on the fertile slopes of Turrialba Volcano.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
