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.  Villa Sarchi is a variety native to Costa Rica – first discovered in the 1950s or 1960s and not grown widely outside the country. It is a natural mutation of Bourbon – a single gene mutation, causing the plant to grow smaller. Its shorter stature means it’s particularly well suited to the strong winds that blow through Costa Rica’s Central and Western Valley’s.
