coffee by the modernist
Aquiares natural : Costa Rica
We were thinking... what do us modernists love? Cycling, a Negroni or two, Italian design, and of course, an early morning espresso. So we set about creating our very own coffee, and we've decided to keep things simple and call it... coffee.
We introduced our first coffee in 2025 and will be rotating our roasts seasonally, but next up is:
Origin: Costa Rica

Farm/CWS: Aquiares Estate

Aquiares, meaning "land between rivers" in the Huetar indigenous language, is Costa Rica's largest coffee farm and home to 1,800 people. Known today as "Aquiares Coffee and Community," the estate dates back to 1890. However, its transformation came a century later when Alfonso Robelo, fleeing the Nicaraguan civil war in the 1980s, arrived in Costa Rica. A political figure in his homeland, Alfonso sought refuge from violence and threats to his life. Upon settling in Costa Rica, he began rebuilding the Aquiares community on the lush slopes of the Turrialba volcano, a region rich with forests, rivers, and vibrant flora and fauna.
