Translating as “land between rivers”, the Aquiares Estate and Community is found by the Aquiares and Turrialba rivers, high on the slopes of the active Turrialba volcano. Environmental stewardship and a commitment to innovation have been cornerstones of the estate since Alfonso Robelo took over in the late 1980s, and today his son Diego continues that legacy.
Round Hill Roastery has been roasting in Radstock, a few miles south of Bath in Somerset, since 2012, when third wave specialty coffee was still in its early days in the UK. The focus from the start has been single farm and single estate coffees, sourcing the best seasonal harvests from independent growers and cooperatives and paying a premium for distinctive character. Roast profiles are designed to highlight the dynamic flavours naturally present in each coffee. Packaging is colour coded: blue bags for filter, pink for espresso. The roastery is open for tours where visitors can watch the roasting, taste the house blend, and learn about sourcing.
