This coffee comes from the Aquiares Estate, located on the slopes of the Turrialba volcano in Costa Rica. The estate is a vibrant, innovative farm at the forefront of sustainable practice in the coffee industry. They are championing agricultural sustainability at every stage, are carbon neutral, and host several ongoing international environmental research projects. The estate takes great pride in employment opportunities and support offered to their team and community, many of whom live on the estate.
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.
