The Aguilera Brothers have established themselves as a coffee growing dynasty in the West Valley region of Costa Rica. The 12 siblings have been growing coffee in the region for over 60 years, with a focus on specialty for the last two decades. Across all their family farms, they produce more than 35 different varieties, in various processing methods, all processed at the family’s own micro-mill. Finca Toño is the closest farm to the mill and affectionately named after one of the brothers – Antonio Aguilera, or Toño.
In addition to their passion for coffee, the Aguilera family (like many families in Central America) are also passionate about football (soccer) and have built their own football pitch at the farm. Outside of the harvest season, the Aguilera’s often gather at Finca Toño during the weekend for football and time with family. During the harvest season, the pitch is used as a huge drying patio for drying down the naturally processed coffees.
The Aguilera’s are dedicated to producing the highest quality coffees possible, and consistently place in the Costa Rica Cup of Excellence competition. Most recently, the Aguilera’s placed in the 2023 COE with a coffee from Finca Toño.
