About this coffee
This is our roasters pick and changes seasonally throughout the year. Of all the coffees we roast this one we think will really surprise you and showcase the regions. We are continually travelling the world to find and work with green coffee producers that share our passion for quality and when we find them we are always excited to share them with you. When roasting Botanical Punk our focus is on highlighting sweetness and all the complex flavours that can be discovered in these unique coffees.
We have worked with Don Alfonso and his family from the Aquiares Estate in Costa Rica for a number of years now.In the 1990’s Don Alfonso launched a program to enable workers to buy homes and land from the farm. To begin with most people thought it was too good to be true, but his long term vision meant that people could invest more in education and wellbeing. These days the community of Aquiares has grown in the midst of the farm and is home to almost 2000 people. 96% of Aquiares employees own their own home thanks to him. Nowadays Alfonso’s son, Diego, manages the farm. Under his lead, the farm has taken a fresh approach to specialty coffee and exploring the farm’s potential.
