Tell me more about Amigo
Philipp met Diego at the World of Coffee in Geneva last year and was deeply impressed by his work. The Aquiares coffee farm is located high up on the slopes of the Turrialba volcano, between the Aquiares and Turrialba rivers. Aquiares literally means "land between the rivers" in the indigenous Huetar language - or Entre Rios in Spanish.
The farm has been managed by the Robelo family for over 40 years, with Diego taking over responsibility 10 years ago. Aquiares Estate is a showcase farm and an inspiration to many, as they repeatedly achieve milestones in various aspects of coffee cultivation. For example, they have established experimental gardens with over a hundred different varieties to observe how several varieties entered commercial production. Many of these were innovative hybrid varieties adapted to challenging climatic conditions.
Why does the coffee taste the way it does?
With Amigo, we want to present filter coffees that are uncomplicated in use and taste. We look for flavor profiles that focus on balance, caramel, and chocolate notes. These are often washed coffees in the 84-point range, which we roast a touch darker than our other filter coffees. We change the coffees seasonally so that we can always roast the current harvest of our partners for you.
How do we roast this coffee?
We roast the coffee as 15kg on our 30kg Giesen roaster. We roast the coffee for 9:30 minutes with a development time of 1 minute and 15 seconds. For the development of this roasting profile, we did two things differently than when roasting other washed coffees: first, we increased the batch size by 2.5kg, which slightly extends the roasting time and makes the coffee a bit milder. Second, we slightly increased the final temperature, which further processes the sugars in the coffee and thus enhances the caramel note.
