Description

Costa Rica Aquiares Washed. Costa Rican coffee (and Central American coffees in general) often represent a lot of the things we dislike about the coffee supply chain. Way too many farms in Central America are owned by wealthy Westerners who have access to capital and marketing that allows them to sell their coffees at prices that indigenous people could never achieve. This coffee is different, and it represents the sort of de-colonisation of the coffee supply chain that we want to support. Aquiares is a Costa Rican legacy farm, and they've set an absolute gold standard in how they treat people and the planet.
