What Makes This Coffee So Special?

Two distinctive varieties. One beautifully balanced cup.

Entre Ríos Red Honey showcases how thoughtful coffee processing and varietal selection can create exceptional sweetness, texture, and clarity.

This unique lot combines Marsellesa and Red Obatá, two coffee varieties sharing Timor Hybrid and Villa Sarchí parentage. Together, they create a layered flavour experience with vibrant fruit notes, rounded sweetness, and a balanced structure.

Developed as part of Aquiares Estate's Entre Ríos Project, this coffee brings together two closely related cultivars to create a distinctive yet versatile cup profile.

Crafted by One of Costa Rica's Most Established Coffee Estates

What makes this coffee even more remarkable is the team behind it.

Aquiares is Costa Rica's largest single coffee estate, known for its long-standing commitment to quality, innovation, and traceability.

Over the years, the estate has developed numerous specialty microlots by exploring different coffee varieties and processing techniques.

Through ongoing varietal research, farm renovation programs, and continuous quality evaluation, Aquiares carefully manages every stage of production.

Each sublot is individually tracked, allowing the team to maintain consistency while developing coffees with their own distinctive identities.

The result is a coffee that reflects not only the characteristics of its origin but also the dedication and expertise of the people who produce it.

The Red Honey Process

Natural sweetness, carefully developed.

The Red Honey Process is a coffee-processing method that retains some of the fruit's sticky mucilage on the beans during drying.

Unlike traditional washed processing, this technique helps develop greater sweetness, fruit complexity, and body while maintaining clarity in the cup.

At Aquiares Estate, the coffee is carefully sun-dried on African raised beds before undergoing controlled mechanical drying to achieve consistent moisture levels and preserve quality.

This carefully managed process enhances the coffee's natural sweetness while maintaining its bright fruit character and balanced acidity.

The result is a beautifully expressive Costa Rican coffee with juicy berry notes, dried fruit sweetness, cocoa richness, and a smooth, rounded finish.
