About This Coffee

This coffee is from Aguilera Brothers Micro Mill in Los Robles de Naranjo, Alajuela, Costa Rica. It is grown at 1,650 meters altitude in the Los Santos region using the Sarchimar varietal. The cherries are processed using natural methods, with floaters removed, fermented for 30 hours, sun-dried for 22 days, rested for two months, then dry milled and sorted. The cup profile features vibrant crisp apple and caramel sweetness with medium-low acidity and silky mouthfeel, leading to a smooth finish with notes of chocolate and sweet cacao nibs.

Cypher Urban Roastery

Mohamad Merhi, a former finance professional turned certified Q Grader, founded Cypher Urban Roastery in Dubai's Al Quoz Industrial Area in 2016. The facility runs Probat roasters fitted with a custom cooling system designed in house, alongside a cupping lab equipped with Marco water systems and Mahlkonig EK43 grinders. Cypher operates as both a green coffee trader and a roaster, managing over 30 tons of coffee annually and holding Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, and USDA Organic certifications across parts of its sourcing. A notable focus on rare Yemeni lots led to securing the seventh ranked coffee at the 2021 Best of Yemen auction, scoring 88.9. The company also runs the Cypher School of Coffee, offering SCA and CQI certified training, and its Nabtih sustainability initiative repurposes jute transport bags into planters for edible herbs grown alongside the roastery.
