This coffee is from the Aquiares Estate in Costa Rica, located between the Aquiares and Turrialba rivers on the slopes of the active Turrialba volcano. The estate has a unique history dating back to the late 1980s when Alfonso Robelo introduced initiatives enabling workers to own homes, creating a vibrant community of nearly 1800 people. This is a natural processed coffee from the Turrialba region.
Round Hill Roastery has been roasting in Radstock, a few miles south of Bath in Somerset, since 2012, when third wave specialty coffee was still in its early days in the UK. The focus from the start has been single farm and single estate coffees, sourcing the best seasonal harvests from independent growers and cooperatives and paying a premium for distinctive character. Roast profiles are designed to highlight the dynamic flavours naturally present in each coffee. Packaging is colour coded: blue bags for filter, pink for espresso. The roastery is open for tours where visitors can watch the roasting, taste the house blend, and learn about sourcing.
