In the hills of Costa Rica's West Valley, the Aguilera Brothers cultivate this refined Villa Sarchi. The cup opens with a bright, fresh note that slowly deepens into layers of citrus and subtle fruit. As it cools, soft hints of brown sugar and almond emerge, rounded off with a warm, nutty finish.

The honey process imparts a velvety sweetness and a balanced structure. At 1550 meters above sea level, in the green hills of Naranjo de Alajuela, the twelve brothers have been working together for decades. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship result in a rich, versatile cup that reflects both the tradition and innovation of their family.
