Costa Rica Aquiares Milenio

Milenio represents the future of coffee—where science, sustainability, and flavor meet. Grown at Aquiares, Costa Rica’s largest coffee estate, this first-generation hybrid proves that innovation can rival heirloom varieties. Aquiares lies on the slopes of the Turrialba Volcano, where volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and generations of stewardship create an ideal environment for expressive, high-quality coffee.

Milenio is the result of crossing T5296, valued for its strong disease resistance, with Rume Sudan, celebrated for its exceptional cup quality. The result is a variety that balances resilience with refinement. Processed as a washed coffee, Milenio showcases a clean, citrus-forward profile with notes of mandarin and tangerine, layered with floral aromatics, sugar cane sweetness, and a subtle dark chocolate finish.

Highly resistant to coffee leaf rust and capable of high yields across a wide range of elevations, Milenio supports Aquiares’ regenerative farming model by reducing the need for pesticides. This coffee reflects Aquiares’ commitment to science, social progress, and a more sustainable future for specialty coffee.
