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. Most recently, the Aguilera’s placed in the 2023 COE with a coffee from Finca Toño. Seldom seen outside of Costa Rica, where it was first discovered, Villa Sarchi is a mutation of the Bourbon variety. Processed using the Natural method, this coffee is big and fruity, with notes of blackcurrant and plum.
