Aquiares Centroamericano, Costa Rica - Round Hill Roastery

Round Hill Roastery keep returning to this legendary Costa Rican coffee farm- and we drink it up every single time! Aquiares farm covers 600 acres on the side of the active Turrialba volcano and is as historic as it is forward thinking. The carbon neutral coffee estate was founded in 1890 and has been operated by the Robelo family for over 40 years under a vision of sustainable, research driven and innovative coffee. Today they produce outstanding coffees from plots that sit amongst protected rainforests and natural springs with a network of ecological corridors that protect and encourage biodiversity.

This 100% Centroamericano lot underwent Red Honey processing, a method developed within Costa Rica. The pulp and skin of the coffee cherry are removed for drying, but the sticky mucilage that coats the bean is left intact. When dried, this sweet mucilage turns from yellow to red and then black depending on the desired flavour profile, with this coffee being milled at red honey level after 18-24 days. The contact with these extra sugars during drying creates a vibrant and complex flavour profile with tasting notes of blueberry, cola and apple turnover.

Somerset has a thriving speciality coffee scene and Round Hill Roastery, based just outside Bath, are a key player. This coffee roaster focuses on single farm and single estate coffee allows them to create strong relationships direct with suppliers and bring truly unique coffee and complete transparency to their customers.

Round Hill roast their coffee specifically for either filter or espresso so they can bring out the best in their beans and their bright bags make things simple: blue for filter, pink for espresso.
