Los Robles - Costa Rica

"Another fabulous coffee from our friends at Aguilera. This one is different to their usual offerings, and a rare ‘comfort’ offering. A stunning all-rounder."

In the cup, you can expect to find really huge blackcurrant notes. We had team members being reminded of ‘dark fruits’ Strongbow cider and Ribena. Zac was even reminded of intense fruit notes, like you might find in a cough sweet.

There’s a good, heavy, chewy, syrupy body here too, which makes for a luxurious mouthfeel and an intense drinking experience.

Add milk, especially in something like a flat white and you might find some lovely, subtle floral notes too.

However you brew this coffee, the brown sugar sweetness rounds everything off nicely and makes for a deliciously moreish coffee.

Los Robles from producer Aguilera showcases the diverse flavor potential of Costa Rican coffees. Roasted by Foundry Coffee Roasters, this lot balances dark fruit intensity—particularly blackcurrant and deeper fruit notes—with delicate floral character and brown sugar sweetness. This combination of bold and refined elements reflects how Costa Rican coffees can layer complexity across the sensory spectrum, moving from heavy stone fruits to lighter aromatic dimensions in a single cup.
