Aquiares Mariana

It’s currently our fourth year of working together with Diego Robelo and his team in the Turrialba region and we’ve already had the pleasure to visit three times already and build strong relations. Aquiares places environmental protection at the forefront, focusing on carbon neutrality and measuring its greenhouse gas emissions to calculate its carbon emissions against its offsets. In addition to capturing carbon, the farm’s protected biological corridors have long ensured the wellbeing of local animals and plants. This lot of Mariana varietal coffee underwent Natural processing which begins with harvested ripe coffee cherries, which are then sorted at the mill before processing. The cherries are then spread out on the drying patios where the drying process begins. After the cherries are partially dried, they are moved to raised beds until reaching their optimal humidity. Drying takes 16–20 days.
