cacao-like aroma, dark caramel, citric acidity, cane sugar, delicate fruity undertones, and balanced body.

Aquiares Estate

Aquiares coffee is characterized by a distinctly sweet & ‘fruity’ flavor profile, its profound aroma mixes chocolate and cinnamon beautifully, and gives way to a delicate citric acidity. The cup is well balanced, complex and full of character. Flavors last long as the cup finishes nice and clean.

The farm manages the entire production chain of its coffee. This starts with seedling production and continues through cultivation, bean picking and milling. Our success in managing the coffee production chain has been proven by our consistently high quality product. Quality and traceability are always guaranteed.
