Located on the fertile slopes of the Turrialba volcano, Finca Aquiares is Costa Rica's largest coffee farm, home to over 1,800 residents. Founded in 1890, it became a model project for sustainable agriculture and social responsibility in the 1980s under Alfonso Robelo. Today, his son Diego manages the farm, focusing on specialty coffee, ecological innovation, and research.

The farm is CO₂-neutral, protects biological corridors, and collaborates with international research projects on biodiversity and agroforestry.

This Red Honey preparation comes from the hybrid variety Centroamericano H1 – a cross between Sarchimor T-5296 and Rume Sudan. It combines high yields, resistance to coffee rust, and an elegant, complex cup profile. The Red Honey process leaves the sweet pulp (mucilage) on the bean kernel during drying, creating sweet, complex flavors.
