The Siko Washing Station was founded in 2017, and sits at 2100-2250 masl in the Siko village of Uraga, Guji. Around 500 neighbouring producers contributed to this lot, with farms ranging from just 0.5 to 2 hectares. The fertile red soils and consistent sunlight found at these high altitudes, combined with the farmers’ skill and expertise, create exceptional conditions for growing coffee. The Guji region is celebrated worldwide for its high-scoring, characterful cup profiles, often defined by expressive fruit and delicate floral notes.

Francisco Morales is the proud owner of La Esperanza farm in Cipresales, which he and his wife established over 40 years ago. Thanks to decades of hard work and dedication, La Esperanza - ‘The Hope’ - now supports their family and many local employees, producing around 17 tonnes of coffee annually. We are thrilled to have Francisco’s coffee back in the roastery this season.

Diego Robelo is at the helm, leading with innovation and passion, following in his father Alfonso’s footsteps. Aquiares is carbon neutral, renowned for regenerative agriculture, and at the forefront of new varietal cultivation.
