Building Relationships. Sean Stewart (pictured right), is our Founder & Partner. Sean has a big heart for people. He assumes the best and wants to see the people he works with happy and thriving. Fluent in several languages, Sean has an incredible ability to connect with farmers and build lasting relationships. He’s humble, listens more than he talks, and is a wonderful person to work with and do life around. This is Diego Robelo, the General Manager of Aquiares, one of Costa Rica’s most historic coffee farms. Diego's commitment to sustainability is not lost on us. As international coffee pioneers, the Aquiares team has devoted 20% of the farm's land to conservation. They are Rainforest Alliance Certified, Carbon Neutral and they even publish research papers to help educate themselves and the greater coffee community. With 50,000+ shade trees planted, they have transformed a monoculture environment into a holistic, biodiverse landscape where native organisms can thrive with minimal human interruption. What does this rich, thriving biome mean? Sweeter, smoother, and more balanced tasting coffee for generations to come. We are proud to work with Aquiares!
