About: The Aguilera Brothers have established themselves as a coffee growing dynasty in the West Valley region of Costa Rica. The 12 siblings have been growing coffee in the region for over 60 years, with a focus on specialty for the last two decades. Across all their family farms, they produce more than 35 different varieties, in various processing methods, all processed at the family’s own micro-mill. The Aguilera’s are dedicated to producing the highest quality coffees possible, and consistently place in the Costa Rica Cup of Excellence competition. San Roque (also known as San Roque Kenia or Kenia) is a mutation of Kenyan variety SL-28, that first occurred in Costa Rica, and has since been distributed to many producers throughout the country. Similar to SL-28, San Roque has a bright fruit acidity, with a complexity similar to cola.
